Joao, born in Uppsala, Sweden and raised in Recife, Brazil/Santiago, Chile/ Waimea, HI has been involved with underground music and culture since age 15.

In 2004 he moved back to the U.S. where he was a part of DC hardcore band Birds & Wires and the Amor y Lucha record label. He began making solo treated guitar recordings in 2007.
