Pilo Adami on SoundBetter

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, Songwriter, Producer, Recording, Mixing/Mastering engineer. I have been obsessed with music/audio since I can remember. Using those experiences, I've figured that every project is different and demands a different skill set, approach. I find this whole process very fulfilling.

Originally from Brazil, I moved to the UK to pursue a degree in Music Production. On stage I went to join bands and solo artists such as Nubiyan Twist, Nick Mulvey, Blanco White, Beatenberg, Andrew Ashong and Rosie Turton. Working with a range of styles in different settings, allowed me to develop skills in recording, songwriting, producing, music directing, and mixing/mastering influenced by electronic, world music, folk, hip-hop, R&B, and beyond.

Some highlights of my career include live sessions at Abbey Road Studio 2 (Malena Zavala), performing for Youtube channel La Blogothèque (Nick Mulvey), Glastonbury’s West Holts stage (Nubiyan Twist), and Jools Holland (Nubiyan Twist). A standout moment was contributing vocals to Blue Note Records’ "Blue Note Re:imagined" collection.

In the studio, I wear multiple hats as a songwriter, producer, music director, and recording/mixing engineer. Past projects include Blanco White, Harrison Storm, Beatenberg, and Lea Kay. Most recently, I was commissioned by music library company Northern Hawk Media to create music for Red Bull’s 2025 Breakbeat/B-Boy competition in Rio de Janeiro.

I’m passionate about collaborating with inspiring artists, exploring new challenges, and pushing the boundaries of creativity. Music is a journey, and every project is an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with audiences worldwide.
