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 and Underworld.

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.
