Between cultures, landscapes and sounds, I find the material that feeds my music.
Born in Cabinda, Angola, shaped by years in Namibia and now based in Portugal, my artistic path moves between classical singing, composition, research and travel.
The world is my space for listening. Voice is one way I inhabit music; composition is another way I respond to what I encounter.
