Saulo Battesini (Guitars) - Born in Rio de Janeiro, in 1960, started 
to play as a self-taught instrumentalist around 1973. Soon after, started to study classical guitar, first with João Pedro Borges and later with Luiz Antonio Perez. Made courses of musical theory and perception at the Villa-Lobos Music School, two years of classical piano and also courses of functional harmony and arrangement with Ian Guest at the Ian Guest Center for Musical Accomplishment (first group of graduates). Participated of instrumental music groups in a variety of styles such as fusion, jazz, pop, progressive etc, some of which he went on tour with around various parts of Brazil. Made arrangements for and played on independently produced brazil’s popular music records ("Muito Pessoal", by Marcos Cysneiros / Daniel Ansor, and "Auto-retrato falante, by Danie Ansor). He is an electronic technician, formed by the Rezende Rammel Technical School, and now works as a freelance musician, arranger and music teacher in courses at Rio de Janeiro, beside being the guitar player (electric and classic) on the third formation of the group Kaizen.
Wagner André (Keyboards) - It is at least curious the fact that one
has known the world of progressive music only in the beginning of the 80’s, a time when the great bands were being dissolved and everybody only cared about John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John. Even more curiously so, it is to know that this one was me...
This doesn’t mean, of course, that I wasn’t interested in music before that, ‘cause, after all, with a guitar playing father and a piano teaching and playing mother - the kind that taught at home, with almost fifty pupils -, I could not have come out safe from such “contamination” even if I wanted to. I actually began to study the piano with five years of age, and, like every normal child, let’s say that I didn’t like it that much. The real drag about it wasn’t the exchange of hours of child play for scales and arpeggios. The real bad deal were the auditions and competitions with dozens of little old ladies crunching my cheeks...
Years of piano later I changed colors and studied classical guitar for eight long years with the inclusion of all possible academic gimmicks: theory, harmony, choir chant, composition... But, in a paradoxical way, it was amidst this guitarristic endurance that I went back to blacks and whites, with the discovery of synthesizers on the records of  Walter now (Wendy ) Carlos. 
But it was thanks to the Wind & Wuthering Genesis record, that I at last fell in love with progressive, even admitting that I did hate it’s first listening. Only in the second or third attempt a contamination was complete and irreversible, topped by a desperate pursuit for the purchase of my first keyboard: a Poly- 800 Korg, that literally cost me my last penny, followed by many many more. 
By thetn I already joined a number of underground numbers, one of them being Lakranya, a band that wrote their own lyrics in a language of it’s own (well, OK...), and Antares, a group that intended to make  cool modern progressive music, but only achieved being nicely dumped by smart agents. I also joined quite a few other musical attempts, from which I’d like to point out the project in partnership with Bacamarte’s flute player, Marcus Moura , culminated with an unforgettable venue at Sala Funarte, in Rio, in 1988.
Well, after all that’s been said and done, here’s me with Kaizen, already on it’s 3.0 version, which I integrate since 1994 with immeasurable pleasure..
William James Murray (Bass) - Born in Rio de Janeiro, works as 
a player and writer. Like two of his band mates, he has begun and concluded his theoretical and practical studies (classic guitar) at the Villa-Lobos Music School.
After that, has dedicated himself to an accomplishment as a player, specifically on bass guitar, self-taught.
He has worked in several musical jobs (CD and general recordings and presentations) with renowned groups and solo artists, with great emphasis on the instrumental field, which have led to art highly accepted and praised by specialized critics. 
Currently, he works in two musical projects on the instrumental rock field: El Fire, a quartet, of which he is one of the mentors (see track on the 1998 Art Rock Festival CD - Rock Simphony), and the other with great musicians - now friends - of the 3.0 version of the group Kaizen.
