Fil (São Paulo, 1983) started playing drums at the age of nine. Considered self-taught, Fil started playing with Dossiê and recorded two independent eps with them. Next, Fil became the original drummer in Brazillian rock band Gloria until he was followed up by Eloy Casagrande in May 2011.
In 2010 Fil began attending classes by Fernando Schaefer, where he honed his skills and learned new techniques.
