I began playing nylon guitar at 16.
First, pop brazilian music and then classical.
In 1982 I entered in Mannes College of Music to accomplish the Performance Major.
But in 1983 I switched to Berklee College of Music, for my jazz aspiration.
I was still a guitarist major, but in 1985 I was already playing electric bass guitar, the instrument I would keep as my main until nowadays.
In 1986, after graduating, I moved back to Brazil.
In 1988, after playing in many bands, I formed a pop brazilian band ‘Banda Bel’ (which I later gave it exclusivity), with which I performed over Brazil, New York and Tokyo and made two albums. The band was awarded ‘Best New Artist at Multishow Awards in 1993 - https://soundcloud.com/ricardoajferrari/sets/banda-bel .
In 1993 I started working with music production, task I carried on until 2008. From this period I produced some few record albums and composed many soundtracks for websites, short-movies and theater - https://soundcloud.com/ricardoajferrari/sets/skol-rock-festival-97 and http://www.jaguaribe.digital.unaux.com/subito.musica/ .
In 2011 I began composing non-program music. From this period I wrote few pieces including two brass quintets and few solo pieces - https://soundcloud.com/ricardoajferrari/sets/short-pieces .
In 2016 I started the creation of “The Lone Bassist Project”, which comprises solo bass guitar compositions and arrangements - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8OjVd54peW_AUtEqrdsj053-ePRvaq7v .
