Not old enough to go to school, he started playing the piano and speaking French. As a boy, he would be absolved by his aunts' out-of-tune singing in the church choir in Soito. Adolescent afternoons followed, listening to the little vinyl records his parents brought from Porto and recording his first love tapes. On a secret visit to a pirate radio station, he spoke for the first time into the ether. When he found himself behind the wheel, he unlocked the brakes, closed his eyes, and started singing in a rock band from his hometown, Arouca. Already working, he exchanged the notes of the day for compact discs. He never forgot his first time behind a cabin. The saloon doors began to open and he started preaching music sermons. He discovered that he was suffering from a musically transmitted disease, vinylis. He doesn't want to be treated. He just wants it written on his last bed, "May record in peace."

Sem idade para andar na escola, começou a tocar piano e a falar francês. Aquando meninote, ficava absolvido com os cantares aos desafinos das tias, no coro da igreja, no Soito. Seguiram-se as adolescentes tardes, a ouvir as rodinhas de vinil que os pais traziam do Porto e a gravar as primeiras cassetes de amor. Numa visita secreta a uma rádio pirata, falou pela primeira vez para o éter. Quando se viu ao volante, destravou, fechou os olhos e começou a cantar numa banda rock da sua terra, Arouca. Já trabalhador, trocava as notas da jornada por discos compactos. Nunca esqueceu a sua primeira vez, por trás, de uma cabine. As portas dos saloons começaram a abrir-se e começou a pregar sermões de música. Descobriu que sofria de uma doença musicalmente transmissível, a vínilis. Não quer ser tratado. Apenas quer que na sua última cama esteja escrito: "Que disco em paz."
