From an early age, Jorge was divided between music and material art forms. Whilst living in Portugal, he combined these interests. He became an autodidact music student and collaborated in both artistic and musical projects, playing the guitar and the Hindu Sitar. In 2005, with the intention of devoting himself completely to music, Jorge moved to Barcelona. From 2006 to 2008 Jorge studied guitar, double bass, music theory and combo at Taller de Musics in Barcelona.

In 2016 Jorge records his first album in his solo career “These are a few of my favorite songs”. Its was recorded only with two instruments: Double bass and Voice, an album in which Jorge plays songs from some of his favorite artists like Radiohead, Björk, Massive Attack or the portuguese songwriter Zeca Afonso. Jorge presents this album in live shows in Spain, Portugal and Germany.

In 2017 Jorge plays in different venues and festivals in Europe: Spain, Portuga,, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. He publishes his second album “To Drop and Lt Go”. A very special album with his own compositions recorded only with double bass and voice.

His cover song "Creep" has a special feeling than many other covers. His voice and double bass are worked together to make this song unique. You can check his platforms to listen more.
