Early Life
At the age of 5, Axel Antunes began to study acoustic guitar in a secondary room in the church that he and his family attended.

After 1 year of classes, his teacher said that she had nothing else to teach him

Since then, Antunes has embarked on a self-taught journey of searching for musical knowledge, intuitive aproacch to other instruments and new techniques (Which in the future led him to choose 'Fingerstyle as a trademark, both on bass, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. Influenced by great references such as Mark Knopfler, Paco de Lucia e Pino Palladino)

His first highlight came with the high demanded show of the tour 'A La Carte Music', In which Antunes performed in a solo act "that sounded like a quintet", according to the fans.

Axel Antunes used an instrument called Hybrid Guitar, which in short, it's a Bass and a Acoustic/Electric Guitar in the same instrument, playing with features like Loopstation, Midi Controller and Electronic Percussion, All this, added to its main feature, the impressive vocal range. Easily navigating between low and high registers, emulating great voices such as Amy Winehouse, Sting, Eddie Vedder, Seu Jorge, Frank Sinatra among many others.

With more than a thousand miles traveled per week for 12 years, passing through the most important cities in the south of Brazil and also São Paulo, the 'A la carte music' tour ended in March 2019.

Antunes later revealed that the road and the pub/bar/event era were his real school and he always will be grateful, but it lasted much longer than it should.

It caused much dissatisfaction and frustration to the fans when he announced his retirement from this particular scene of his professional life.
