My songs talk about my experiences in life, from my childhood in a small village near Oporto where I always


runned free in the green fields and ate fresh fruit from the trees. My grandfather was a farmer so my connection with nature has always been present in my life. I lived near the sea, which has a strong connection with the Fado culture, the longing feeling about the wait for the sailors to return.


In Fado I always listen to Amalia Rodrigues, regarded as the queen of Fado, but I also like contemporary singers like Dulce Pontes, Antonio Zambujo, Teresa Salgueiro, and Misia among others.


In these days I still hear a lot of world music, I feel great admiration for singers like Maria Del Mar Bonet, Lhasa, Estrella Morente, Joanna (San Ilia), or Hector Lavoe. I


can wake up listening to Yabby You, followed by fabulous Elis Regina, Amalia Rodrigues, Lura, Melody Garnet, among many other artists.


I call my Fado “New Fado” because it includes influences which are not just the traditional, I sing what I feel and I write what I feel too. I believe that the only way I can get truly recognized is by being myself.


The current band line-up includes a double bass, Spanish guitar, viola Braguesa and cello. I’m very lucky to work with fabulous musicians who enhance my songs with their instruments and melodies.
