Tiago Grade — known as Rizumik — is a Portuguese artist, vocalist and percussionist whose work lives at the intersection of rhythm, improvisation and human connection. Award-winning and internationally active, he brings together beatbox, singing, loop station, dance and humour into performances that are as rigorous as they are joyful.

For Tiago, improvisation is not a skill — it is a state of being. His workshops create spaces where participants rediscover play, presence and the music that already lives inside them.

At Total Improv Lisboa, Tiago takes on a double role: leading a full day of workshops and serving as Programme Director — shaping the artistic identity of the festival.
