In these past two weeks I was very blessed to be able to record six different cool albums, from avant-garde jazz to Latin, pop and folk.
I can’t wait for these releases :)

The great Brazilian saxophonist and composer Sérgio Galvão gave me the best gift I’ve could have ever had. He wrote this song for me - what a honor!
