Sion’s work as a reed player (saxophone, flute, clarinet) includes significant tenures with Brazilian icons Hermeto Pascoal and Antonio Carlos Jobim. As a composer, he helped to pioneer the blending of jazz and classical music elements with Brazilian popular music into a style that has become his trademark. Sion started his piano study at age 5, and at 13, continued with formal studies in saxophone, clarinet, and harmony at the Lavignac Conservatory in the city of Santos. At age 25, after graduating with a degree in psychology at the State University of São Paulo in Campinas (UNICAMP), Sion decided to dedicate himself fully to music and went to Berklee College of Music in Boston. Sion has recorded 14 albums under his own name as an instrumentalist, composer, and arranger.[1]
