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.
