Braga learned luthiery from his father who made rustic guitars. After making his first instrument he began to expand his horizons to making classical guitars and ukuleles. He worked as a teacher of luthiery giving a class at the Vicentina Aranha Cultural Space in the city of São José dos Campos / Sp for two years. His name and work are cited in the book "Violeiros do Brasil" released in 2008 which lists him among the best luthiers in Brazil. Nowadays, besides working in his studio, he also researches new techniques to improve the sound of his instruments and new materials for construction.
