At four years of age, he moved with his family to Brasília, where he began his musical training. In 1990, he earned a bachelor's degree in classical guitar from the University of Brasília (UnB). His work is predominantly influenced by Brazilian music, exploring both instrumental compositions and sung songs, which are presented in concerts and albums.

Throughout his career, Marcelo Guima has released four albums: "Nova Mente" (1994), "Passagem" (2000), "Dois Compassos", and another not yet specified.
