Josinaldo is originally from Macapá, in northern Brazil. He moved at the age of four to French Guiana, to the coastal town of Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, where he completed his schooling up to a general high school diploma in economics and social sciences.
He discovered circus arts at the age of 14 during the Art Pasi Festival, through a performance by the school Latitude Cirque in collaboration with the circus company Farouche Zanzibar. He then took part in an introductory workshop, after which circus never left him. Between aerial silk, slack wire, acrobatics, and Chinese pole, it was the Chinese pole that suited him best, as it allowed him to combine many disciplines and vary movement across different heights and rhythms.
Josinaldo has always enjoyed jumping, sliding, and constantly seeking strong sensations and speed. He found in the Chinese pole an apparatus that allows him to explore the limits of the body. He gave up sailing and mountain biking to dedicate all his free time to circus practice.
During a discovery trip to French national circus schools in 2016, he decided to apply to higher education circus programs the following year. He joined the preparatory program (APS) at the École nationale des arts du cirque de Rosny-sous-Bois, discovering a world completely different from his life in French Guiana. He participated in numerous creations with directors such as Constance Biasotto, Fanny Coindet, and Pierre Rigal.
He continued his path by joining the DNSP program at the Centre national des arts du cirque in 2018.
