Rafael de Sousa began his musical life at the age of 9 influenced by his father, playing in catholic church. At age 10 he was introduced to the electric bass and fell in love with its sonority. Although he has always been curious throughout the musical universe and its instruments, his identification with the bass sound has remained till these days.
He began his further studies of electric bass in 2015 at the School of Music in Brasilia with Professor Fernando Nantra and Professor Rodrigo Salgado, graduating in 2019 in Professor Oswaldo Amorim's class. Already practicing professionally since 2013, he went through varied styles, such as pop/rock, gospel, jazz, MPB, sertanejo, ballrooms and instrumental, and artists such as Orlando Morais, Margareth Menezes, Seu Jorge, Ellen Oléria, Geórgia W. Alô, Alberto Salgado, Cissa Paz (USA), Felipe Continentino (BH), Célio Maciel, Caio Fonseca, Bruno Gafanhoto (RJ), Salomão Soares (SP), Maíra Freitas (RJ), Flávio Silva, Serge Frasunkiewicz, Juninho di Sousa, Rodrigo Rocha, Caio Antunes, Matheus Donato, Marcos Santos, Moisés Alves, Thanise Silva, Cairo Vitor, Janis Steprans (CAN) e Branford Marsalis (USA).
In 2019, Rafael released his debut album called Embryo, as a result of his first musical influences when he was a kid: play and listen to ballads. The 6-track album is signed by Caio Antunes on electric guitar and Caio Fonseca on drums. His second release is called Quintet, available on digital platforms among other singles.
