His solo career started with the album "No Gravity". His second album was "Universo Inverso", recorded in only three days, featuring some of the best jazz musicians in Latin America. Three years later, Kiko released, "Fullblast" , a heavy and progressive piece. In 2008 he also presented his fusion project: Neural Code, in which the band explores rock and jazz, fueled with Brazilian rhythms. "Sounds of Innocence", his fourth solo album, was released in 2012, combining metal, jazz and Brazilian rhythms. The year 2015 came with big news: Kiko was invited to join Megadeth and recorded the guitars for Megadeth's fifteenth studio album "Dystopia" It was in early 2017 that he got the greatest recognition in his career. He became the first Brazilian to receive a Grammy Award by playing in a rock band. Megadeth got the award for "Best Metal Performance" with the album "Dystopia." Open Source released in July 2020 presents new musical ways in Kiko's compositions.
