The Soul of Bossa Nova

I have always valued melody, harmony, rhythm in all my performances. It’s hard for me to say what the essence of my music is. I have a wide spectrum, from baroque to jazz to romantic, many styles that are important to me and helped form me as a musician, as a pianist and a composer. The piano has always been my main instrument. It is the continuation of my soul.
