Biography

Born in Brazil, the singer-songwriter embarked on a remarkable life journey, one that would span the globe and shape his artistic identity, as he was adopted as an infant by a Dutch family. As he grew, he found himself traversing diverse cultural landscapes, his experiences influenced by the tumultuous event of his parents' divorce, which occurred when he was just 10 years old. This pivotal moment led to a significant relocation, as he, along with his mother and sister, migrated to the exotic island of Sri Lanka, a move that would mark the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

Within a remarkably brief period of only two years, the exceptional student found himself back in Holland, where he was presented with the extraordinary opportunity to select his next educational destination.

This chance to choose his next step was a testament to his outstanding academic performance and a reflection of the confidence he had earned in his abilities.

As he pondered his options, his passion for the performing arts ultimately guided his decision, leading him to opt for attendance at the esteemed "High School Musical" academy.

This renowned institution, renowned for its innovative approach to education, offered a unique blend of math and science classes alongside acting and dance instruction, providing a well-rounded educational experience that would serve as the foundation for his future endeavors.

The academy's emphasis on balancing academic rigor with artistic expression would play a pivotal role in shaping his educational journey and ultimately influencing the trajectory of his future career.

It was a significant amount of time that had elapsed since he had first set foot on the stage, diligently honing his acting skills under the watchful eye of his drama coach. The coach, well-acquainted with the industry, had a knack for staying abreast of upcoming projects and auditions. One day, the coach shared some extraordinary news with him, revealing that the renowned Dutch writer, Carry Slee, was actively seeking talented individuals to participate in the auditions for her sophomore film endeavor, "Timboektoe". This announcement sparked a sense of curiosity within him, as he was eager to be a part of the grueling yet thrilling process of trying out for a role. With a newfound sense of purpose, he decided to attend the audition, and his efforts were rewarded when he successfully secured his debut film role.

As the curtain rose on this pivotal moment, it signified the dawn of a prosperous and illustrious acting career, replete with memorable performances in a diverse array of cinematic endeavors, including the critically acclaimed "MVID: The Battle" and the whimsical "Asterix & Obelix bij de Britten," where he lent his distinctive vocal talents to bring to life the charismatic character of Hippix, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere.

Notably, in the year 2011, a significant milestone was reached in the music career of a notable individual, marked by the release of his debut single "I am no Superman".
