Raphael - musician - composer

Raphael Veronese was born on March 5, 1974 in the Nova Friburgo State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the third son of Jose Carlos Veronese and Katia Ferreira. His interest in music began at an early age. Veronese?s father became a lawyer and an amateur pianist who played classical music. As a child Veronese heard his father playing and showed amazing talent when he tried to imitate him.
At age seven he participated in his first concert, playing Valsa do Contentamento (Waltz of Happiness) by G. Martins. At twelve he and his brother participated in the Anchieta School Festival on October 31, 1986. There the first song he had composed, ?Fleuma,? was played. He subsequently won third place at the festival. He recalls, ?I remember it as if it had happened yesterday, when we were called to the stage to receive the trophy and to play the song again. That was the best day of my life, I discovered my talent.?
At eighteen years of age, Veronese began working with the bands Flor da Jamaica (Jamaica Flower) and Lady 57 (at times playing on both bands at the same time). Later he played with Asa de Luz (Light Wing).
During this time, Veronese was faced with a challenge: recording two compact discs with Asa de Luz. One of these recordings was made with the special participation of the renowned artist, Marcus Viana. The band no longer exists but his experience with those musicians taught him much in regards to recording and arranging. Moreover, after that he was motivated to build his own studio. There he recorded and made various productions for local musicians, he also composed jingles and vignettes for radio and television.
These various musical experiences led Veronese to pursue his dream of composing, playing and making his own recordings. He admired and played many music genres, but it was the classical seed in particular, planted in his childhood, that grew into compositions that reflected parts of his own life and his search for internal peace. In 2000 he began work on the composition Interior, which included his previously composed song ?The Sacred Valley.? Veronese released this album, his first, in 2003 at the Country Club of Nova Friburgo, RJ. He has also finished his second recording titled Caravana, inspired by the desert and ancient Egypt. This album was released on April 11, 2006 in the Sister Sania Cosmelli Theater at the College of Philosophy, where his grandfather served as an inspector. He took advantage of this opportunity to pay homage to his grandfather by playing the song he composed for him, ?Interior,? and also to celebrate his brother Philipe Veronese, remembering the day of the concert when he and his brother played music together as children.
Veronese also enjoys taking scenic pictures. He loves nature and photographing it is for him a source of pleasure and relaxation.
He is now in Brazil working on his third romantic CD.
