Hi bloggers!
I’m going to introduce you to a new Portuguese rock star, Slimmy.
Paulo Fernandes is the real name of the Portuguese singer born in Oporto, Slimmy.

Slimmy’s project started in 1999 when he decided to write his own musics. At that time, he was a DJ and that’s why his musics have electro influences. His idol is Duff McKagan, ex-Guns N’Roses guitar player, who now plays at Velvet Revolver.
Slimmy’s first and unique album, Beatsound Loverboy, came out in 2007. It has eleven musics:
“Beatsound Loverboy”, “You Should Never Leave Me”, “Showgirl”, “Bloodshot Star”, “Self Control”, “Set Me On Fire”, “Far From You”, “On My Own”, “Inside The One”, “All You Gotta’ Do Is Stay Alive” and “Good Night Good Souls”. “Beatsound Loverboy” and “You Should Never Leave Me” are in Morangos com Açúcar’s soundtrack, “Bloodshot Star” is in CSI Miami and Self Control is in the generic of a TV show from Sky Sports. He’s got three singles, and the fourth is coming.
Slimmy was nominated to “Globos de Ouro” in the category of “Portuguese Revelation of The Year” and to “Best Portuguese Act” in the Europe Music Awards from MTV.
Slimmy has already played in Festival Paredes de Coura, Festival Marés Vivas, Festival Noites Ritual, in the bar Tertúlia Castelense, ...
On stage Slimmy has the support of Garim (bass) and Garcez (drums). Slimmy’s management and production are made by Saul Davies, the drummer of the famous british band, The James.
Beatriz, 901
