 Jefferson Freire de Almeida was born September 27, 1990, in São Paulo, Brazil. His parents were José Josilvado de Almeida and Eula Da Silva Freire, and he had two sisters, Thais and Thalita. His parents had no relation whatsoever with show business, but both had studied music and played musical instruments; they imagined a musical career for their son.
-However, Jefferson’s parents separated when he was still a kid. Jefferson was raised by his mother, Eula. He was fifteen in 2005 when he began learning juggling techniques from a Brazilian street performer, Anderson Perreira, whom he had known for a long time and was considered in juggling circles one of the best jugglers in the country. At first, Jefferson learned just for fun, but he quickly caught the juggling bug, and began training incessantly. Rain or shine, at home or at school, Jefferson and his clubs were inseparable.
+However, Jefferson’s parents separated when he was still a kid. Jefferson was raised by his mother, Eula. He was fourfteen in 2005 when he began learning juggling techniques from a Brazilian street performer, Anderson Perreira da Silva, whom he had known for a long time and was to become known in juggling circles as one of the best jugglers in the country. At first, Jefferson learned just for fun, but he quickly caught the juggling bug, and began training incessantly. Rain or shine, at home or at school, Jefferson and his clubs were inseparable.
 His mother was poor, and Jefferson decided he had to help her by taking advantage of his newly acquired skills: He went on to juggling on street corners making a living by passing the hat. In doing so, he also took comfort in the belief that, one day, he would become a true professional juggler and a circus artist&mdash;and this dream kept him going. For the time being, he was gaining performing experience.

-Soon, he found engagements in small circuses. His technique was improving constantly, and his natural charisma led him to work in 2008 with [[Circo Tapias Voadores]], a circus company based in Diadema, in the province of São Paulo, where he was also asked to teach juggling to the students of their newly created circus school. Being finally recognized as a bona-fide juggler, he began to work increasingly for special and corporate events, as well as for other Brazilian circuses, among which [[Circo di Napoli]] and [[Circo Montreal]], and in 2012, [[Circo Universo Casuo]], one of Brazil’s most prestigious circus companies.

 In 2013, Jefferson Freire enrolled in the Braapa Escola de Atores, a well-known acting school in São Paulo, where he graduated as an actor. Additionally, the taste for music his parents had instilled in him had grown, and this led him to study violin in various music schools before joining the Conservatório Musical São Caetano, in São Paulo in 2014. He soon added his musical skills to his act.
