This is pure electronic pop melodic music, in âsongâ format (3 to 5 minutes per music), sang mainly, but not only, by myself (lollipop boy). My musical background was shaped by the influence of bands such as ultravox, depeche mode, underworld.

Filipe Garcia is a 33-year-old school teacher and Lollipop Boy is his artistic name. He was born in Lisbon, Portugal, the year before the Revolution that gave Portuguese people freedom to express themselves. He studied classical music during his childhood and adolescence, but it was the increasing expansion of electronic music and bands from the eighties such as Ultravox, Visage, Softcell, Depeche Mode, Human League, New Order, The Cure, among others, that influenced his musical background. He spent hours listening to those bands, dreaming about the London atmosphere of the time.

He started to compose music using a Commodore Amiga computer during high school, and later on a synthesizer with a MIDI sequencer. At the same time he was taking his computer engineering degree at the university thus, he also uses his computer skills to produce his themes and albums, to create Lollipop Boy's website, videoclips, general artwork, CD sleeves and such.

Besides being a musician and a school teacher he also writes technical articles for Portuguese magazines and websites, and he made his debut in professional acting at eighteen.

His musical background includes Electro Vision and Light Speed Approach, among other bands. His debut album as a solo artist is called "Somewhere To Go".
