Trumpet player, arranger and composer experienced in jazz/commercial, Brazilian and Latin music. I have great experience recording online and I always make sure the client is 100% happy with the result. English, Español, Portuguese
I've played trumpet and flugelhorn professionally for 20 years, travelling the world playing with some top Brazilian artists (such as Roberto Carlos, Banda Mantiqueira and Banda Urbana) and I have been recording online for the last 5 years here in São Paulo for a different array of jobs, from TV advertisements to big band sessions.
Beside my instrumental skills I am an arranger. I’ve collaborated with various singers and groups of all sorts of styles, writing arrangements for a wide array of different settings, from brass trios up to full symphonic scores.
I have experience with logic for recording and Finale to produce my arrangements and I can call musicians for the whole brass section to record your project. We can record from the most chill solo trumpet to funky big bands. (In a rented studio).
If you want a Brazilian feel to your tracks, I'm your guy.

João é um dos melhores trompetistas com quem já trabalhei, atua com facilidade do trompete lead ao solista e com certeza vai abrilhantar seu trabalho ainda mais, além de ser um excelente arranjador com arranjos para diversas formações !!
João é minha recomendação número um !!!
João é um músico diferenciado. Tenho trabalhado com ele desde o meu primeiro álbum, em 2009 e ainda me surpreendo com a versatilidade, qualidade de execução e sobretudo sua sensibilidade. Além de todas estas características, ainda é fácil de lidar, entende o briefing e conduz de maneira leve e eficiente. Recomendo fortemente como instrumentista e arranjador.
João is one of the best musicians and arrangers I've worked with in the last 20 years.
Always on time, very professional, highly committed, he has a keen leadership skills and a great sense of teamwork.
I would say that I can recommend João's musical services for any type of work, in the studio or live.
I've worked with Joao on different occasions and I can say he's a world-class musician. Not only as a solid performer but as well as an arranger. I've seen first hand his work process while writing arrangements and was amazed by how much he knew his craft and how he knew straight away what works and what doesn't. This guy is a pro. 100% recommended.
João is a very talented and versatile musician! I definitely recommend his work and I will be certainly working with him again. He is the man! He writes, arranges, and plays different Brazilian and jazz musical styles with the same competence.
