In September 2026, he joined the Escola Profissional da Metropolitana, where he continues his flute studies under the guidance of Professor Marina Camponês, as a first-year student in the professional music programme.
He began his musical studies at the age of six at the Sociedade de Instrução Musical de Porto Salvo (SIMPS), where he initially studied the French horn. At the age of ten, he joined the Escola de Música Nossa Senhora do Cabo (EMNSC), where he continued his French horn studies. In 2023, he developed an interest in the flute, which quickly became the central focus of his artistic development.
He has developed an active musical career as a young orchestral and chamber musician, as well as a soloist, performing with the wind bands of SIMPS and Talaíde, and with the Wind Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra of EMNSC. He is currently a member of the wind bands and Wind Orchestra of the Escola Profissional da Metropolitana.
