Raphael is a very accomplished musician, who plays bass and drums on the Brazilian band Ego Kill Talent.
Raphael started earlier in his life to play bass, guitar and eventually drums. Influenced by a lot of Jazz, MTV in the early 90's was what really shaped Raphael's drumming style and dreams.
Dreams that most certainly have been fulfilled in various ways, from venturing as festival organiser, organising huge festivals and hiring acts such as Faith No More, System of a Down, Stone Temple Pilots, Joss Stone, Snoop Dogg to name a few, to touring with the likes of Shinedown, Within Temptation and Metallica!
Ego Kill Talent has a very strong business structure with C3 Management, BMG, Warner Chappell and WME, 2 albums released worldwide and lots more to come!
We talked about life habits, musical influences, navigating Covid times, exercising and lots more! Hope you all get enjoy this conversation, as much as I did! :)
