About me
From 2012 to now — know a bit more about me and my trajectory!
Henrique Ferreira is a Brazilian independent musician who has been playing guitar for more than 10 years, playing and collaborating with lots of indie artists and bands — like Last Dinosaurs, Good Kid, Cafuné, INOHA and others.
“It all started when I got my first video game at 8 – a used PlayStation 2. I was introduced to Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80’s (I even had that super cool guitar controller) and to rock music in general. I couldn’t stop playing this game, and it didn’t take so long for me to get interested in real life instruments. My dad used to play acoustic when young and he had this old acoustic guitar collecting dust over our wardrobe. I got curious enough to take it and try to play something”
At 9, Henrique started taking acoustic classes. Still as a kid, he started to have some opportunities at his local church, in Osasco – which was primordial to prepare him for what was coming next.
One year later, he permanently joined the local band to play acoustic and it didn’t take long for him to migrate to the electric – “I started in the acoustic but my main goal was to learn the electric just to play the Guitar Hero songs”. Still in 2014, he got his first electric guitar and a 50W amplifier as a gift from his dad.
On the internet
In 2016, he created his first YouTube channel to post some guitar covers (under the creative MusicCovers name) but stopped some months after. In 2017, a new attempt was made – and it only lasted 2 videos.
The turning point was at the end of 2019. After discovering Last Dinosaurs in a game called Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2012) some years before, Henrique searched for tabs or covers to learn their songs and didn’t find much content. He started to learn them all by ear (watching Steve covers helped a lot) and on January 1st, 2020, he released his first video, with later a Patreon page to host his tabs.
His first live-gig came in 2023, participating in one song of a brazilian indie band called Jambu, in São Paulo. In 2024, he started to play guitar at some shows with Verdan, another brazilian indie band, which he recorded guitars for his first song.
In April, 2025, he got the opportunity to play with Last Dinosaurs on their first concert in Brazil.
Over the last six years, Henrique's been creating music and guitar content, bringing together over 65K followers across all social media, building a community with all those who enjoy our sweet indie/alternative tunes. He's been producing guitar tutorials, covers, guitar FX, PDF tabs, guitar-only audio files, music e-books, guitar exercises, licks, drills, tips and more content related to the indie music world, serving the community and connecting people with the same music taste. Today, Henrique runs his online community, mainly plays and serves at his local and other churches, produces and works as sideman with some São Paulo indie bands.
Henrique also has a degree in Marketing (Fatec Sebrae - São Paulo) and worked in two marketing agencies (as content creator and designer) before making music his full-time job.
