Career
In 2000, one of his dreams came true, he presented his works to Sony Music and was subsequently signed with them. In the same year he released his first album, called Versão Acústica. The success was so great that he had to return home to Brazil to go on tour for the album. The album sold more than 100,000 copies in the first six months, without any media exposure at all. The following album, Versão Acústica 2, released in November 2002, sold twice as fast as his first. The third Versão Acústica sold very well too. In 2004, he released an album containing only The Beatles covers. In 2005, he released his fifth album, called Miltons, Minas e Mais in which he explored the sound of famous musicians from Minas Gerais, like Milton Nascimento.
