Hey everybody!
Considering that 10 years ago, when I was a 15 year old kid living in Brazil, attending ProgPower was one of my wildest dreams, I can't really complain about the attention my name has been getting here lately! Yay!
I do read these forums, just like every other musician who's ever played at the fest, and if one tells you he doesn't, please punch him for me (make sure you fake an accent and say "don't be a lying faggot" or something I'd say so he'll know WHO punched him
and yes I do look up my name every day haha!
Criticism exists, and I'm fine with that, but I don't like when people are unfair (especially when they don't know me). So please allow me to get this one straight.
I am in TWO BANDS: They are called "CIRCLE II CIRCLE" and "POWER QUEST". I am involved with AVIAN (I've recorded their new album and play live with them) and I wish I could get my own band COLDERA to work, but for a million reasons we just can't seem to accomplish that. Of course, I was in CELLADOR, but that was the first band to bring me to the US and jumpstart my career, plus I haven't been with them for almost a year now.
The thing with VOUGAN that Blabbermouth just posted is for TWO SONGS, as a GUEST on their DVD. Like me, there will be other musicians guesting, such as Gus Monsanto (REVOLUTION RENAISCANCE/ex-ADAGIO), Renato Tribuzy (TRIBUZY), Vernon Neilly (jazz guitarist who put together an amazing tribute to Stevie Wonder) and Andre Matos. I guess we can't say all these musicians are in VOUGAN, can we?
That said...I can't wait to party with all of you next year, when I'll be at ProgPower performing with POWER QUEST (this band I'm actually IN haha).
Metal on everybody!
