On August 8, 1960, I (Almir) was born onto this planet called Earth…

1975 was the year I was introduced to the world of Rock Music. Through friends (Paulinho and Silvio) I was introduced to Rock ‘n’ Roll and discovered happiness there. Rock and it’s friends, Grand Funk, Uriah Heep, Santana, Slade, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Mutantes, Raul Seixas, O Terço, Made in Brazil and especially BLACK SABBATH.
By 1977 I couldn’t stop listening to it; everything the “system” criticized, I loved. At a friend's (Paulo) invitation I went to work as a DJ in a night club called SAAD in Sao Caetano of Sul/SP.

The 70's, Rock Music, freedom and fun shone with self expression and craziness. The nights were ours in Sao Caetoano of Sul/SP, Sto Andre/SP, working as "sonoplasta" (DJ's) in night clubs such as Eklypse Rock, Aluciason, S.B.E. Rock II, Heavy Metal, and Fofinho...there was a lot of Rock in our blood!
Aguas Claras II Festival - Iacanga - SP The best and most important Music Festival occurred and marked an end to Eklypse Rock.
In 1981 I was so tired of fraudulent and/or breached contracts and dealing with Directors of night clubs that I stopped DJ'ing.
Also in the early 80's at FATEC/SP some very important friends and I founded FATEC "Passelivre's" Cineclube, it was a very important phase in my life!
1995- Rock Brigade n.#109 Ozzy was scheduled to be here in Brazil in Philips Monsters of Rock, and through this magazine I participated in a promotional contest and won a CD autographed by Ozzy. I then began to search for any information I could find about him...
In 1996 I created Fanzmosis Ozzyne (fan magazine) which is shown in the program Furia of MTV Brazil for Gastao. This led into Fanzmosis Ozzy Brazil (website) being created.
In 1997 my dreams came true when Ozzy sent messages to me thanking us for the work we are doing in Brazil. (See below)

In 2003 Fanzmosis created an important link among all of Ozzy's fans. With the collaboration and participation of a group of friends that live in several countries, Fanzmosis became an International fan club and gains a website in Enghlish:Fanzmosis - Ozzy's International Fanclub.
I have only respect and admiration for the work of the Master, one day I hope to meet the Master in person. God bless you, Almir
