JSantos

Ottawa, ON, Canada

A composer, singer, and musician who loves life, music, motorcycle, friends, and a vast variety of activities. He was born in September of 1980 in Tremembé, São Paulo, Brazil. He lived his childhood in the charming Campos do Jordão listening to his mother's voice, Mrs. Edna Santos, a beautiful voice even when singing in the bathroom. And his father, Mr. Jorge Santos, a military conductor whose rich music was played in several carnivals. He grew up in a family that played trombone, trumpet, accordion, and many instruments. Also, to a great extent, the love for music came from his accordionist grandfather, Mr. João Nato, who passed away before he had the opportunity to meet him, and yet was somehow well known to him. Then, after a few attempts to play the trombone in his father's band, Julio began to play his first guitar, and at that moment he felt that it was perfect for him. Currently, Julio lives in the beautiful city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada where he works and makes music.
