This was a year filled with rehearsals, live shows (in bars) and recordings. At this point, we had decided we would be working with Quico Serrano, who agreed to be the producer for three or four songs. We were very happy that he accepted the challenge. He saw us playing in a bar in Espinho and he liked us!
Would we be the same without him? Obviously not. We spent a year working on four songs, because learning how to be in a recording studio also requires time. The future looked promising! I felt I was on the right track.

This was an unforgettable year! Our album was released by a multinational record label and, for the first time ever, a Portuguese artist's image and song were used in an advertisement campaign for a major Portuguese brand.
The song "Daisy" became the main theme for TMN (which no longer exists). All that made it possible for us to start playing for thousands of people, sign hundreds of autographs, and even have a fan club. It was all so sudden that I'm not even sure how it happened! It wasn't that long ago that I was thinking of giving up, and now I was the lead singer for the most talked about band in Portugal! It was really strange, to go from being anonymous to having people look at me on the street and start singing the songs, especially the "Lalalala u" part from "Daisy".

The video for "My Explanation" was shot in New York, and the song soon became No. 1 in radio airplay in Portugal. It held the top spot for 6 months! At this time, we were the most requested band in Portugal. We played a hundred concerts in a year!
The high point was at the end of the year, with the concerts in the Coliseus. I was very happy to see that all our effort and dedication had paid off, but I was physically exhausted. We played almost every day, sometimes three shows a day! There were dozens of interviews, we had to interact with fans and, worst of all, I was physically worn out and losing my voice because of it... I was having mixed feelings. I was thinking: Was this what I had always fought for?

I wanted to take a break and do something different. I started working on a few songs in Portuguese that were "in the drawer".
It was strange, but tempting.
I wasn't looking for success at that point, I just didn't want to let the music dream die. There were hard times ahead. I never thought it would all be so hard at the beginning. There were a lot of closed doors... It was like going back to the start and fighting for everything again! Letting go of the past was hard, but I got some guys together to play with me and I went back on the road! How ironic that "taking a break" would end up being the best project of my life...
"Pequeno T2" was a song that almost didn't make it into the album, because I was not completely happy with the result. Curiously, it ended up being chosen as a single by Pedro Ribeiro from Rádio Comercial, and became my biggest hit up to that point!
Thank you, Pedro!
And that's how I, once again, became the face of one of Portugal's major brands!
It was time to face the future with confidence.

I went to Madrid to record with producer Mário Barreiros.
There were a lot of expectations surrounding this album. I was invited by Anastacia to do the first half of her shows in Portugal. The Bio television channel mentioned me as one of Portugal's greatest music talents and did my biography, which ran on the Bio cable channel in Portugal and Spain!

Saul Davies had challenged me to record in the UK and try to take my music abroad. And that's what I did! I accepted the challenge! I recorded new material in London and Glasgow.
"U can't stop me now" and "The Bond" are the songs from this new adventure that I have already unveiled. But there's more...

Já há muitos anos que planeava compor canções infantis e juvenis. Em 2017 o convite foi feito pela Areal Editores e a colaboração iniciou-se com a canção "Vou para a escola" do manual escolar "Eureka 2".
