Martini hails from Porto Alegre, Brazil. He has been playing guitar since he was 14 years old, and has studied music at EM&T, the School of Music and Technology in São Paulo. At the age of 18 he moved to Barcelona, Spain in search of a different life, adventure, and to study flamenco guitar.

But rock music has always been his first passion, so upon meeting Anastasia, he chose to move to Oxford to be with her instead of going to Thailand, and to dedicate his life fully to music.

This year Martini is nominated for Musician of the Year - Guitar by the prestigious Josie Music Awards (Nashville).

He is a black belt in karate and speaks five languages.
