He has an irreverent visual look and an addictive musical style and has achieved mainstream success after an appearance on the Portuguese soap opera Morangos com Açúcar.

The collection that had been developed during the previous years did not pass unnoticed by the national and international music scene, catching the attention of noticeables such as Quico Serrano, Alvaro Costa and Saul Davies of the British band James who would later work on Slimmy’s debut studio album in 2007.

In 2004, after studio work and varied concerts, Slimmy relocated to London, performing in reputable venues such as the Dublin Castle, Hope and Anchor, Rhythm Factory, Bull and Gate, materialising in an opening slot on the tour of the American English Electric 6.

[1] In 2007, Slimmy returned to Portugal, embarking on an extensive national tour in preparation for the release of his debut album Beatsound Loverboy, on the Som Livre label.

The album features a fusion of rock and electro music, releasing three singles, “Beatsound Loverboy”, “Show Girl” and “You Should Never Leave Me”.

[2] In late 2009 Slimmy's career was divided between live performances and studio work, where he began recording on the album Be Someone Else, eventually released in June 2010.

His vocals have drawn frequent comparison to those of Brian Molko and Caleb Followill, while the structure of his music is said to echo classic 1980s rock and 2000s electro.

[5] Slimmy's personal image, exploited with television appearances and a constant stream of videos has been considered extravagant and overworked, using rock imagery and fancy outfits to make a noticeable impression within the genre.
