Drummer
London

Hi there, my name is Michael and I'm a professional musician from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil and I've been living in London for the past 8 years. I have toured with different bands, accompanied artists, worked as musical director and played in musical theatre. I've been playing drums for 22 years and transversal flute for 10 years. I've done gigs for more than 150,000 people in Brazil, played for Prince Harry and president Dilma Roussef, won prizes with different groups, and I continue to play, tour and teach music. I've experience in several different scenarios like brass bands, dance classes, musical theatre, jazz trios, DJs, Brazilian percussion groups, parades etc. I can read music, or play by ear, whatever suits your needs.

Michael was very professional, he made every effort to make sure the performance was great! He was very punctual and performed the songs brilliantly. I would definitely recommend him to whoever wants a drummer or a flute player.

Michael is a great drummer! I gave him a very difficult repertoire, and he learned it very quickly. It was a pleasure to share the stage and rehearsals with him. Always very professional, and at the same time being a great guy to hang out with. You won't regret booking him.
