José Carlos Matos; guitarplayer.
José Carlos Matos was born on the 29th of June 1973, Johannesburg, South Africa. His father was a musician [drummer] and as you can imagine, this had a profound effect on his life. He grew up listening to Santana, George Benson, Queen and Earth Wind & Fire and frequently assisted his father´s gigs. JCM had piano lessons at the age of 8 and that gave him some basis in music theory.
The family decided on leaving South Africa due to the crisis that was headed towards the country during the mid '80s. They arrived in Portugal on the 4th of Febuary 1984 and have been residing there ever since. As a teenager he played keyboards at home with his father and the joy of jamming was taking over him very quickly. He then discovered a band called Europe that blew him away, and after that he was already air playing electric guitar on a tennis racket.
After that he started listening to Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and eventually stumbled onto a band that changed his life forever... the band was Van Halen.
He just flipped out with Eddie's guitar playing and wanted to be just like him, so he went to a Musical Instruments' shop in the summer of 1990 to search for an electric guitar and found an Eddie Van Halen's "Frankenstein" replica [Vester] and bought it. He spent about 2 years literally locked in his room practising and jamming to Van Halen records. During this time he discovered Joe Satriani, Nuno Bettencourt and Steve Vai. He considered these musical giants as his virtual teachers and set out to learn the best he could off "Surfing with the Alien", "Flying in a Blue Dream", "Pornograffitti" and "Passion and Warfare". He spent hours and hours playing with the albums from begining to end, perfecting his interpretation of the songs and was living the dream he set out to do, so he basically taught himself how to play guitar from records, music books and listening carefully to all types of music, learning the sense of phrasing, improvisation, dynamics and music theory ...

Luis Moreno; guitarplayer.
Although in the first two years he didn't have an own guitar, he wasn't discouraged, because whenever he could he would ask the friends to lend him a guitar. At age 17, at last, he bought in "10th hand" his first guitar, and in the same year formed his first band, called "E.T.C.". From that moment on he went through several bands always playing original compositions with local and school musicians until 1986, when he joined a band - Doutores & Engenheiros (Doctors & Engineers) where he end up replacing the guitar player. Two more years went by in several garages and attics always rehearsing new songs until the first contract came along, with Edisom in 1988. On that year was edited the first album "Doutores & Engenheiros", produced by Manuel Cardoso (Ex-Tantra) and in 1989 came out the second album "Lavagem de Estrada" (Road Wash) where he took the role of producer for the first time. From 1990, when the band broke up, he became a freelancer musician, having played with portuguese artists as diverse as: Adelaide Ferreira, Mafalda Veiga, Marco Paulo, Nucha, José Reza, Paulo Gonzo, Chiquita, Luís Filipe Neves, João Marcelo, Fernando Pereira, T.C., and João Portugal. It's obvious that one of his main strengths is the versatility and ability to adapt to styles so diverse such as pop, heavy metal, folk music, blues, fusion, country, dance music, funk or jazz. This mix of styles would end up influencing his future works, as a solo artist and as a producer. This can be observed in the "Guitarristas" (Guitar Players) CD, where the commercial factor was not taken into account and where it is possible to find some of the best guitar players from Portugal in their real environment. Naturally, in all the time went from is first band until today, he has travelled the country several times, summing more than 1500 live performances between clubs and the so called "big shows" ...
