In this episode of Chats with Tats, poker pro Felipe Ramos talks about his passion for music with CalvinAyre.com’s Tatjana Pasalic.
To say that Felipe Ramos is passionate about music is an understatement.
“Before I play poker, I sued to be a musician,” Ramos told CalvinAyre.com. “I used to work in a financial market, too, so part-time music, part-time regular job.”
Then, the pro player found success on the felt table, and not just with cards.
“After I got some success playing poker, I got to know a couple of people that were actually my friends in poker and our dear friends in music, and we got together,” Ramos said. “So writing music, that’s all I love to do on my free time: play instruments and sing, all those stuff.”
He said that writing songs is his “getaway” especially whenever he’s having a really bad week.
“I’m like a very emotional guy, not [on the] outside, just from inside… I put it all on the paper, so that makes me feel better because like, for example, whenever playing poker gets too stressful sometimes, this is a nice getaway, too. It’s a good habit to have,” Ramos said.
Now, Ramos is ready to show the world his music.
“We’re working on a new album. We’re going to be launching this as a rock band. It’s called Dz6, which means sixteen in English, in Brazil,” he said. “We going to have a couple of shows here in the United States soon. We already have shows scheduled in Europe for the second semester.”
