Once upon a time, a tiny brazilian boy who was quiet and had an imaginary friend, Henry.
This boy was different of the most of the other guys of his age: he wasn't into soccer and sports in general, he didn't swear and he hated to get dirty. His passion were the books and he used to close his eyes and travel around the world with his imagination.
He wanted to be a doctor, a pediatrician, because he always liked kids and he used to go to the hospitals and stayed long minutes looking the babies through the glass of the nursery.
Little Rod was a lazy boy. His family tried everything: soccer, volleyball, swimming(yep, this one he still loves), karate, capoeira....but the boy didn't look to fit in this kind of stuffs, for their disappointment.
So, he "grew up" and became a teenager.....new ideas on his mind and he found out the spanish guitar and the keyboards, he was so excited because he loved music and he used to sing since he was a child and was in the adults choir, in his local church. But, unfortunately he realized that play some instrument was not his thing.
Years later, he went to the college and he found out the theater....it was like love at the 1st sight. So for years and after 3 different drama groups, he dated the stage and loved it so much. He didnt become a doctor, he studied broadcasting and production and acting became his thing.
Actually, he lives abroad, he still doesn't play any instrument, but he came back to sing, after years, and he fell in love with his vocal cords again.
Now, he realizes he doesn't need to be a doctor to be happy and feel complete. He has done so many different things since he left his country and thats the beauty of the life for him.
He has learned he can be whoever he wants, since he allows himself to try things in life and have new experiences. He can be a barman, a glass collector, a stripper to a girl's 21st bday, a waiter, a shop assistant in a takeaway, a receptionist in a sauna....and he even plays to be Carrie Bradshaw on his laptop.
His life is full of ups and downs and even like that he believes that simple things can make him happy.
Once he went to an audition for the creation of a boy band in his country, but he failed. Nowadays he sings SACRED HARP(an american tradition) and he will never be famous or well known for that, but hes the happiest guy of the world for singing this and he can die without never learn how to play any instrument and even like that the music will be with him for the rest of his days.
