about sergio

Just a skinny pale kid born in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil... during a carnaval, an early morning summer episode. Lived most of my childhood stories in the very sunny city of Salvador, a tropical and historical paradise. Coconut water still is the best remedy.

Have been playing original music since my teen years, worked on some independent videos, short stories, played in bands, lots of rock, reggae and Brazilian music, destroyed cars, motorcycles, traveled a bit and lived an independent life since I was 19.

Just released Passport Not Required with the transcendent guitar man Bobby Broom, available on cdbaby, itunes, JazzRecordMart and Dusty Grooves. Also working on Electrofunksamba with Rick Gerhenbeck to be released in July 2007.

Currently playing live in selected clubs around Chicago, writing songs and stories for others, also experiencing "the human jukebox connection" by organizing soundtracks for different events, lounges and clubs around Chicago.

Always making available time for interesting projects.

Please check some new songs at www.myspace.com/electrofunksamba

Chicago still has a great music scene. Listen to Bobby Broom, Deep Blue, Chris Foreman, Terry Callier, Tiffany Monique, Von Freeman and Kimberly Gordon among others.

Brazil, specially Bahia, Spain, Chile, Holland, Jamaica, U.K., France, Mexico, Germany, Italy and Switzerland... met unique people in all these places, hope to stay connected w/ some of them.
