Rafael de Sousa
began his musical life at the age of 9, under the influence of his father, playing in religious contexts. At the age of 10, he got to know the electric double bass and fell in love with its sound.

In 2015, he began his more in-depth studies of electric double bass at the Brasilia School of Music with Professor Fernando Nantra, and also with Professor Rodrigo Salgado, graduating in 2019 from Professor Oswaldo Amorim's class. Having been performing professionally since 2013, he has performed in a variety of styles, including pop/rock, gospel, jazz, MPB, sertanejo, dances and instrumentals, as well as artists such as Orlando Morais, Margareth Menezes, Seu Jorge, Ellen Oléria, Georgia W.
