From www.nastiomosquito.com:
"I believe you could call me DZzzz, Gavião, Fly, The Night Fly, Saco, Nasty- O, Cucumber Slice, Zura, Zurara, e Dzzzzura, and I would always recognize your call! But if you really want toknow, my mother calls me António Nástio da Silva Mosquito, always followed by ‘“I’ve warned you!” I was born in Angola in the month of the enlightened! I am the Crab and for that reason they say I have the potential of being a born psychologist, or even a teacher! Well, I confess that I’ve decided to be a creative tramp with financial worries! Portugal was the arena where I learned some of the tables, and also learned that a ton of led and a ton of cotton weighs exactly the same! Queijas, Coimbra, Queijas and then Linhó! The first poem I sang was called “Abortion”. I sang it to two or three friends. They said that it was cool, I believed them and I never stopped since then."
