Early years

Born and raised in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Son of Dario Seixas and Suelly Motta Seixas, Seixas started playing bass at age 14, inspired by the performance of rock band "KISS" at his home town in 1983. He studied 3 years of music theory at the conservatory of music of Rio de Janeiro and had lessons with multiple bass teachers. At age 17 he decided that he needed to move to the States in order to play Hard Rock, which was not popular in Brazil at the time. At 19 he sold everything he had and followed his dreams to America.
