ARE U READY TO ROCK N'ROLL BABE?!!!!
RODRIGO HAD HIS FIRST CONTACT WITH MUSIC WHEN HE WAS YOUNG BY INFLUENCE OF HIS FATHER, ROBERTO LADISLAU SANTOS, HOWEVER HIS FIRST STEP TO BECOMING A MUSICIAN WOULD COME AT THE AGE OF 10, WHEN HE GOT HIS FIRST GUITAR. INNOCENTLY, HE PLAYED IT FOR SOME TIME UNTIL HE DECIDED HE WANTED TO PLAY THE DRUMS, ALTHOUGH HE DIDN'T SUCCEED WITH THE INSTRUMENT. SO NOT UNTIL HE WAS 13, WHEN HIS FATHER GAVE HIM A CONTRABASS, DID HE SEE HIS MUSICAL IDENTITY PRESENT ITSELF. WITH LESS THAN 2 YEARS PLAYING THE INSTRUMENT HE HAD ALREADY LEARNED VARIOUS SONGS OF ROCK/METAL AND MAINLY BY IRON MAIDEN (HIS FAVOURITE BAND), THAT WAS WHEN HE DECIDED TO EXTEND HIS MUSICAL BOUNDARIES, LISTENING TO DIFFERENT STYLES AND DEDICATING HIMSELF TO STUDYING AND PRACTICING THE CONTRABASS. QUICKLY HE EVOLVED AND IN FEBRUARY OF 2006 HE WAS INVITED TO A WELL-KNOWN BAND IN THE REGION, ATA D'ARC, WHICH HE'S STILL A PART OF. NEWS COMMING SOON... SEE YA
