I asked ChatGPT to write a bio for me. I've made some edits to it's output to reflect something resembling reality:
André Custodio is a skilled drummer and percussionist originally from San Francisco, CA. Born in late 1969, André grew up with music and was exposed to a variety of genres from a young age. His father is a professional rock singer and his mother played accordian, so André was encouraged to pursue music.
At the age of 10, André began taking snare drum lessons and quickly fell in love with the instrument. He practiced a lot, developing his skills and experimented with different styles of music. By the time he was in middle school, André was already playing professionally on television, in local bands, and was performing at local venues.
After graduating from high school, André decided to pursue an education in music. While in college, he had the opportunity to study with a few of the top drummers in the country and honed his skills even further. Prior to his study of the drums, he also developed an interest in other percussion instruments, such as congas, bongos, timbales, and timpani.
After college, André continued playing professionally, performing with a variety of bands and artists in the San Francisco bay area. He quickly gained a reputation as a talented and versatile drummer, capable of playing different styles and genres. His dynamic playing style and innovative approach to percussion made him a sought-after musician, and he was soon playing with some of the best in the business. He has toured nationally and internationally.
Today, André continues to perform and record with a variety of bands and artists. He teaches drum lessons to students of all ages and levels, passing on his knowledge and passion for music to the next generation of musicians. With his talent, dedication, and love of music, André has established himself as a respected and admired drummer in the bay area.
