Just in case you want to know, here's some things about me.
I was born and raised in a countryside town in Brazil called Americana. I lived there until I moved to Los Angeles in 2019.
I had a pretty desirable career in Brazil. I had a nice job, a cool car, my own place, and enough money in my savings account. But something was missing. I missed excitement, adventure and challenges. I missed a smile on my face.
I always had this dream of becoming a musician, so after some events, I decided to just go after it. So I quit my job, sold all my stuff, enjoyed my family and friends for a 3 months, and then, I ended my "perfect life".
California is expensive! I did some financial planning before moving here, but seems like... uh... lets say it wasn't very accurate (lol).
Since I wasn't allowed to work as a student, I really needed to cut my expenses. This situation made me learn a lot about how to prioritize things, and how to appreciate simplicity.
Right now I listen to Amapiano, Alternative Rock and Brazilian Disco.
My top 3 favorite artists/bands that impacted my life the most are Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Mayer, and Foo Fighters.
I have a big family back home. Dad, Mom, 1 brother, 2 sisters, Grandpa, and my Aunt. All in the same house.
My Mom is the best cook on this planet and her eyes behind her humble glasses are the warmest in the entire universe.
My Dad is the most complete man I know.
My Sisters are crazy but fun, one of them is an incredible cook too! (When she wants)
My Brother has an incredibly bright mind and is very intellectual, he is a great sociologist.
My Grandpa is the most generous, humble, kind, lovely, and funny person ever.
My Aunt loves us with huge dedication and faith. She is also a great singer!
We also have 2 dogs, very crazy ones, 1 rabbit, some birds, and some cats living on the attic.
One of my main sources of income while living in LA for the first year was by playing live music at famous streets around LA. Sometimes I still do it for fun.
Another source of income is being part of crazy tv shows as an extra or a guest in alien tv shows! I wish I could share more about this for now but I don't wanna be abducted again. Easy 50 intergalactic dollars.
I played a lot of videogames until moving to United States. That's how I learned all the English I know, so sorry about some mistakes. If you like The Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed or Crash Bandicoot, please, contact me. We have to talk.
I also love animes and that's how I know a little bit of Japanese. I'm currently watching One Piece, Black Clover and I can't wait for MHA's next season.
It's not clear, but some people say that nature is the escape route for introverts when overwhelmed.
I really like to walk into the woods, I like to be close to rivers and listen to the sound of water. The golden hour is my favorite time of the day.
Left-handed people are usually very proud of it! I really would like to know why we exist! What's the point? And why we are not 50% of the world? Are we freaks? Do we have alien blood? Why am I left-handed but kick and push the skate with the right leg? So many mysteries...
I am constantly questioning things. In the last years, I was focusing too much in the world and forgot about myself. Nowadays, most of the time I am looking for internal answers.
Nice to meet you, I'm Fernando.
