Paulo Jr. (born Paulo Xisto Pinto Junior on April 30, 1969 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is the bassist and only remaining original member of the Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura.

[edit] Life and work

In the latter half of his career, he has played 35" 5-string Zon basses, tuned flat.^{[citation needed]}

He claims Max and Igor were so impressed by his guitar ("Wow, what a nice bass, man") that they asked him to join the band, even though he didn't know how to properly play the instrument.^{[citation needed]}
