​

I’m a professional drummer with 29 years of experience. I began my musical journey at the age of six, heavily influenced by my father, who was also a professional drummer. By the time I was 16, I was already working professionally, laying the foundation for what would become an international career.

​

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of performing and recording with renowned artists such as Billy Sheehan, Alex Skolnick, Gus G, Paul Gilbert, Eric Martin, David Ellefson, Devin Townsend, and many others. I’ve also performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages and festivals, including Wacken Open Air, Graspop Metal Meeting, and Rock in Rio, appearing before audiences of tens of thousands of fans.

​

In addition to my touring career, I’m also an active session drummer, contributing to numerous studio projects across a wide range of musical styles. Among these collaborations, I’ve recorded four solo studio albums with Jason Bieler (Saigon Kick). My performance on the track "Saviour" was selected for The Prog Report's Editor's List for Best Drum Performance of 2025, recognizing it as one of the year's standout drum performances in progressive music.

​

Since 2009, I’ve been touring and recording with Jeff Scott Soto, best known for his work with Yngwie Malmsteen, Journey, and Sons of Apollo. Together, we’ve toured extensively throughout Europe, South America, and the United States. I’m also a founding member and producer of SOTO, a band created to showcase Jeff’s heavier musical side. The project has released three studio albums and completed extensive international tours between 2015 and 2019.

​

Since 2017, I’ve also been touring throughout Europe and the United States with legendary Queensrÿche vocalist Geoff Tate.

​

In 2024, I was invited to join the legendary American rock band Mr. Big on their farewell European tour, filling in for drummer extraordinaire Nick D'Virgilio. I performed 16 shows across Europe, including an appearance at the iconic Wacken Open Air festival.

​

​I’m currently preparing the next SOTO album, scheduled for release in early to mid 2027, followed by a worldwide tour.

​

’m also currently touring Brazil with Queen Legend, one of the country's premier Queen tribute productions, performing in sold-out theaters across the nation. The production has recently expanded into Latin America, bringing the show to new audiences across the continent.

​

Another major project is Masters Of Voices, an all-star touring production featuring vocalists Jeff Scott Soto, Eric Martin, Tim "Ripper" Owens, and Edu Falaschi, backed by an exceptional band that includes Felipe Andreoli (Angra), Marcelo Barbosa (Angra), Léo Mancini (Shaman), and myself. Following a highly successful South American tour, plans are already underway to take the production to Europe next year.
