Cândida B on SoundBetter

Brazilian Musician - singer, songwriter, composer, pianist, producer.

Very skilled musician, working as music producer, pianist, singer and songwriter. Over 20 years working in the industry.
I have a classical background on piano and composition, and many years working in studio in different styles. Creativity is a difference, plus a great knowledge about world music. Being Brazilian and lived all over America gave me this diversity. African and European styles are a passion. Now, living in NYC, have been producing with great EDM and electronic music producers, having over a million plays in my tracks at youtube, beatport, soundcloud, etc. You can find me in many big hits online. I really can make a hit and create an atmosphere for tracks.
I record pianos, keys, synths, create harmonies, arrange.
For voice, I record lead voice, backing voice, harmonies.
I create melodies, lyrics, scats, improvisations and weird sounds.
Love to create and make music, specially collaborating in different projects.
