In 1976, he joined the Os Mutantes pop-group, traveling throughout Brazil and all over Europe, recording the Mutantes ao Vivo LP. He lived in Milan, Italy (1977), where he produced his first arrangements and took part in recordings with a number of European performers. Back in Brazil (1978), he joined the Pepeu Gomes band as keyboardist and arranger, appearing with this Brazilian pop star three times at the Montreux Festival (Switzerland, 1984, 1985 and 1989), while also composing a number of instrumentals together.

He also recorded with Moraes Moreira, Caetano Veloso and Erasmo Carlos, and in 1983 was the musical director of the Coração Brasileiro show starring Elba Ramalho, presented in Brazil, Portugal and Israel. Since 1985 he has performed in one-man shows or with his own band both in Brazil and abroad at festivals, night clubs, universities and cultural institutions.

In the classical music area, he has also performed as a soloist in public concerts with the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra and the Rio de Janeiro Opera House Orchestra, playing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Richard Strauss), and Ravel’s Bolero, conducted by Isaac Karabtchevsky. In the publicity area, he composed and recorded the sound-tracks for various commercials, as well as writing and recording the opening themes and sound-tracks for programs on the Globo, Bandeirantes, Manchete and Educativa television networks. He also wrote and played the sound-track for the Alucinação Arte Abstrata video by Ricardo Nauemberg, awarded the 1989 Leonardo da Vinci prize in Milan, Italy.

From 1990 onwards he began to write articles and analyses of software and musical instruments for special publications in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In October 1991 he toured Denmark with percussionist Marcelo Salazar, playing in towns that included Copenhagen, Odense and Århus, spotlighting Afro-Brazilian rhythms and his record Quartzo. During this trip he was invited to give courses on data technology and Brazilian music at a number of universities.

In 1992 he set up his own desk-top publishing firm, producing music books, scores and teaching methods, with over thirty publications already completed for a number of publishing houses. He has recorded three solo records - Quartzo, Baobá (finalist in the VII Sharp Music Award as best instrumental arranger) and Mosaico (also launched in USA); and he has two published books - Dicionário de Acordes para Piano e Teclados (Piano and Keyboard Chords Dictionary, which represented the Editora Gryphus at the International Book Fair, at Frankfurt in 1994) and Escalas para Improvisação (Scales for Improvisation).
