Hi, I’m Natanael Paulino, a Lisbon-based musician and multi-disciplinary creator. I was born in Reguengos de Monsaraz in 1991 and grew up surrounded by music, starting on piano as a child and eventually finding my lifelong passion in drums. At 17 I moved to Lisbon to study jazz at the Luiz Villas-Boas Jazz School (Hot Clube de Portugal) and later continued my education at the Lisbon College of Music (ESML). I’ve contributed to a wide range of musical projects—from experimental jazz (Inês Pimenta) to rock (MadeIN) to traditional Portuguese music (Dona Laura)—and I’ve been involved in several album productions along the way. I currently teach private drum lessons and stay active in various music projects, including Farp a, a band dedicated to Portuguese protest and traditional music. Cinema and visual effects have always fascinated me, and I’ve pursued study in motion design, 3D and VFX, completing programs at World Academy and a postgraduate degree at ESTC. I’m excited to collaborate and contribute to new creative ventures. I look forward to partnering on projects where music, cinema and visual storytelling intersect, so we can make them shine together.
