More than 1,000 bands in pros 7 participating blogs. Of these, 21 of them were selected and evaluated by Zé Ricardo, artistic director of Stage Sunset Rock in Rio and you could say it was not easy: the blogs hit the hand in indications and hampered the work of those who had to choose the name that part of the line-up of the Sunset Stage festival.
But in the end, a name had to be announced. And it was Phill Veras, who is of Maranhão and writes songs since age 14. The singer-songwriter will have a chance to send well in the festival, making their sound to be heard by thousands of people across the country. Yeah there is a chance that a lot of bandwidth'd give anything to have.

Bio
Phill Veras is from São Luis do Maranhã, northeastern brazilian state. Self-taught and disciplined, since 14 years old did not stopped to compose and create his melodies. Wasn't him that went into music, it was music that went into him. And you can see this clearly in his relationship with the composition and even fitting the guitar between his legs.
It is clear that there is a greater force commanding all, and it calls music. Like all his generation, his influence is clear, and we will not talk about them and repeat critical and worn that we live today in an attempt to frame references. Points as talent, authorial originality and poetic simplicity, he take us quickly to his universe. Effortlessly. And he's only 21 years old.
Veras has a relaxed way. A unassuming part bohemian style from Maranhão, even young Phill seems to adapt more easily to bringing you more peace. And his songs leave this heaven even to say things a little more dense. Careful guitar chords and a voice smoothly - subtly dealing about love and melancholy. He opted for the subtle, but nothing that can define it, yet.
After all, he has just begun his journey to discovery his artistic identity.
