Born in Pato Branco, Paraná, Brazil, Rafael began his musical studies in early childhood. At the age of five, he started taking music education classes and soon developed an interest in singing and keyboard. He later broadened his musical training through participation in choirs and the study of instruments such as guitar, violin, and, above all, classical piano, which became his primary instrument.
In addition to his artistic work, Rafael is also active in music education and academia. He is currently pursuing a master's degree in Music at the State University of Paraná (UNESPAR), where his research explores the role of music in shaping the viewer's perception of time in audiovisual works. He has given lectures on film scoring to composition students and on idiomatic piano writing to students in the Music Production program at PUC-PR.
