Biography

Jean Dolabella's first "notorious" musical work was the first release from his old band Diesel, which, for legal reasons, later changed its name to Udora. By that time, he was a drumming teacher at the Pro-Music School in Belo Horizonte. After a period living in the US with Udora, Dolabella left the band. Around the same time, in 2006, Sepultura's original drummer Igor Cavalera had quit the band and Dolabella was invited to replace him, which he accepted, remaining with Sepultura until 2011.^[2] In 2014 he start up a new band, called Ego Kill Talent.
