Early life[edit]
Born in 1963 in Rio de Janeiro, he was the grandson of Herberto Sales, a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters.[3]
Career[edit]
Between 1990 and 1992, he was a member of the band Fantasmas, where he played as a guitarist, vocalist, and violonist, alongside musicians such as André Gatti, Marcus Rey, Karina Hoffter, Emerson Mardhine, and Milton Guedes. The band released the album "Fantasmas" in 1990, featuring a reinterpretation of "Ovelha Negra," which was included in the soundtrack of the TV series "Mulheres de Areia." In 1992, the band won the "Prêmio Sharp" for "Best Popular Music Group."[4]
In 1998, Gito joined the duo Vêennix as guitarist, violonist, and producer.[5] In 2000, he returned to the independent music scene in Brasília, collaborating with artists of Brazilian popular music.[6] In 2005, he launched the project "Independência Já," with national tours that highlighted the independent movement. Later, he performed in New York, where he was invited by Virgin Records for a pre-contract. In 2012, in Barcelona, he received a Grammy nomination for his production with the Spanish band Lagarto Amarillo.[7]
In 2015, he released the EP "Tempo ao Tempo," celebrating 30 years of his career, which included new songs and a new version of "Coisas de Casal," by Rita Lee and Roberto de Carvalho. The project also marked his return to Warner Chappell Music as a composer.[8]
