Growing up in a musical family, he began his musical journey at an early age, initially playing the drums, guitar, and ukulele, and later taking up the cello, harp, and organ. His childhood and adolescence were marked by a strong focus on music and religion, as he alternated between the cities of Curitiba and Rio de Janeiro.
