The air in Nova Serrana, a town nestled amongst the rolling hills of Minas Gerais, Brazil, often carried the scent of coffee and the sound of music. For Dan Calixto, born on March 19, 1985, that sound was the heartbeat of his childhood. His father, a man deeply connected to the soul of Brazilian music, would fill their home with the melodies of his acoustic guitar. His mother, her voice a gentle counterpoint, sang and hummed as she went about her day. Music wasn’t just entertainment; it was the language of their home, a constant, comforting presence. But for young Dan, the guitar in the corner remained, for a time, a silent observer. He was a boy of action, drawn to the outdoors, to games, to the simple joys of childhood.
