Lead Guitar
PERSONAL
STUFF: I was born on Oct. 16
of '78, in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal in Europe. I lived there until i
was 14, when then i moved to the US and went into High School. I lived in Revere
for 5 Years and now I'm in Braintree. I started playing the guitar in the summer
of 2000, when I gave myself a birthday present and bought one. I was always
around music by going to 20+ concerts a year and meeting many bands, at first
through business and then friendship. So i had always been in love with music.
Then one night when partying away with some friends i was shown by my friend
Rob Renne how to play the intro to Metallica's ONE, and that was it. and i've
been playing since. I'm gratefull for the gift music has given me, and I know
it will be a part of me forever.
FAV. BANDS:
TooL (best band ever), System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica,
Deftones, Guns n' Roses, Reveille, Linkin Park, Megadeth, Stone Temple Pilots,
