Born in Rio de Janeiro, singing formed
an integral part of Alonso's life since
childhood. He is an acoustic guitarist
and baritone vocalist and has been working
as a solo act and with a variety of bands
in Brazil, New York, and most recently
in London, where he's been living for
over 7 years.
During the past 20 years, Alonso received
formal voice training from teachers in
Rio, New York and London. Since his first
band "Choque Geral" he has worked with
a variety of others, however, having maintained
the "guitar and voice" option always parallel
to other works. Although he performs much
of his own work, he pays great tribute
to his musical heroes such as Chet Baker
and James Taylor, The Beatles and Bob
Marley, sometimes keeping the original
arrangements, other times interpreting
them in his very own way.
His repertoire would not be complete without
some native Brazilian material, such as
the good old Bossa Nova.
Alonso currently resides in London where
he works as a musician performing at private
events, bars, hotels, restaurants and
ski resorts.
Alonso is currently working on his third
CD.
