Francisco Chaves

About me

My name is Francisco and I was born in a very small village in Portugal called "Castro Verde". There, I started my musical studies in the Conservatory studying Classical Guitar. Later, after having some harmony lessons, I discovered the world of composition which also fascinated me. Then, I did two bachelors simultaneously in the "University of Évora", in Portugal in Classical guitar and composition. After that, I decided to continue with my guitar studies, doing my Master's degree in Maastricht, Netherlands. Although most of my time was spent around classical music, I like also to improvise and I played also the bass guitar in a jazz ensemble. I love to discover new sounds, new bands, new music, always trying to improve my knowledge... I am also passionate in learning languages, so you can speak with me in any of the following languages (by decreasing order of skill): Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Russian.
