Biography of MENTOR

Originally from Vale de Cambra, the genesis of the band dates back to the year 2000, due to the will of friends Jorge and Miguel and their passion for music. Both guitarists, they invited drummer Filipe and together they gave soul to some ideas.

Shortly after, in 2001, Rui would join the band, permanently replacing several bass players that had jammed with the band. Still short of a vocalist and after several auditions in a search for their front man, Miguel gradually assumed the vocals along with the rhythm guitar. At the end of this same year, due to a conflict of ideas, Filipe abandoned the band.

A few months later,in 2002, they found their substitute drummer, Stephane. This step was symbolically marked by the difficult choice of MENTOR as the band’s definite name.

On August 6th 2005, in a dreadful event, Stephane lost his life, leaving the band orfan, not only of their drummer, but of a great friend to all.

After a period of mourning, and as Stephane would most certainly have wanted, remaining band members decided to go on, and began a quest for a new drummer.

In June 2006 their search came to an end as Kwane became the band's newest member, dummer and friend. Now, they're here again...
