Veronese is a guitarist, producer, and composer based in the city of Rio de Janeiro. He has been into music since childhood, when could experiment with various instruments. He found his true passion for the guitar during his teenage years, where he could exercise his talent and evolve with cover bands at school and church.
Over time, the desire to have his own work became stronger. Inspired by instrumental rock icons like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, Veronese also dedicated himself to exploring the guitar as his "voice."
Also, he was passionate passion about the richness of Brazilian music from artists like Egberto Gismonti, Hermeto Pascoal, among others. He sought to blend these nuances with the visceral energy of rock, merging them to create a unique style that could translate the vigor of progressive rock/metal and the enveloping atmospheres of Brazilian music.
