RAY
Brazilian-born drummer and percussionist, 20+ years in. Grew up on everything from bossa and Afro-Latin to funk, R&B, rock, and metal. Love be in the pocket as hitting hard when it counts.
Live stages, studios, TV, festivals — been around, still love it. Love the feel and making the music move.
From Zeppelin to Bill Withers, Dave Matthews to Pantera and Sepultura. When Ray is off the kit: meditation, reading, running, BBQ and a solid caipirinha.
YOTAM
Multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of experience in everything from jazz, funk, and R’n’B to progressive and heavy rock. Yotam has always been inspired by artists who push the envelope, like Robert Fripp and King Crimson, John Coltrane, or TATRAN. When he doesn’t hold down the low end, he is a self-proclaimed champion of sourdough baking.
NINE
Born from the cracks of the land, Nine has lived music since childhood. He picked up the electric guitar at the age of 12 and never looked back because doing always matters more than dreaming.
With his chubby Les Paul, he brings a nasty but precise rock style inspired by all kinds of music. A true audio nerd, Nine helps shape BRUTAX’s sound and identity from the ground up.
john
Native to Vancouver, John’s musical background consists of a some piano training as a youngster and participation in choirs throughout school Self-taught on the guitar, John has played in a variety of bands over the years, before finding his home with BRUTAX. Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, and G&R, are just a few bands he enjoys. Outside of BRUTAX, John works, does yoga, and tries to stay Mello. Peace.
