Beyond his musical endeavors, he has had a significant career in theater, acting in and directing numerous plays, and receiving accolades such as the APCA award. His work often integrates music with dramatic performance, and he has collaborated with a wide array of notable Brazilian artists, including Tetê Espíndola, Almir Sater, and Margareth Menezes, among others.
