CIC on SoundBetter

Berklee graduate engineer/music producer, I have been producing everyday for the last 15 years. I am originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and between beats, beach and the famous sugarloaf I have worked with many of the major labels such as Sony, Universal Music, Spinnin Records and work frequently with Sync Licensing/publishing companies.

When we talk about CIC we are not talking about another Brazilian DJ who wants to be like all foreign DJs. We are talking about a Brazilian producer who built his career doing things his own way, even if it meant working a little harder. 

At the age of 11, CIC started playing in Rio de Janeiro and never stopped since.

He started in the underground scene producing experimental sounds and he has played on the mainstage of the biggest festivals ever, like Ultra Music Festival, EDC and Tomorrowland, which he still does nowadays. All the major festivals, both in Brazil and worldwide, included CIC in their line-up already.



His turning point came a few years later, when he played at the biggest festivals around the world in company of DJs such as Avicii, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Axwell & Ingrosso, Hardwell and Armin Van Buuren. Inspired by the most famous superstar DJs of the world, CIC started to make some of the most energetic and inspired sets himself, becoming one of the greatest in the scene.



In 2014 CIC caught the attention of Universal Music Group and was the first Brazilian DJ to sign a global contract as an exclusive artist of the Aftercluv label, the electronic music label of Universal in Latin America and part of Europe. He is more than a Music Producer, He know's about the dancefloor and what the people want.
