Biography
Carlos Eduardo Pereira da Costa was born in 1976 to Brazilian parents from Rio de Janeiro. Music was very common in his extended family, and so he started experimenting with music at an early age. His inexpensive toy instruments (a saxophone, a clarinet and a melodica) were inseparable to him. Although his mother was a formally trained piano player, he began learning to play the piano by ear. It was not until the age of thirteen that he decided to begin formal training for piano and music theory at the city conservatory. And when Carlos’ grandmother gave him her old classical guitar, he applied his new-found musical talent in learning to play it. Although Carlos did not choose to study music in college, he did stay within the field of arts study, Architecture and Urbanism being his major. In his free time, he continued to study music.
Carlos has been working since 2009 as an Assistant Minister of Worship at Community
Baptist Church of Somerset [New Jersey] and as pianist and arranger for the Community Fellowship Mass Choir since 2013.
