Eletro/Indie Producer

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: My friend and client Kesler Nunes, an artist from São José dos Campos, SP - Brazil, was on a tight schedule and wanted 5 songs with a specific base but with different mixes each. I not only delivered them with quality, but also in less than 4 days. It was a unique and engaging experience that challenged me and made me see that pressure is not always your enemy.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: In my own compositions, studying new formulas and testing different completion formats in the shortest possible time.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: I've only known SoundBetter for a very short time. But I'm sure everyone here does excellent work.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I've worked with both types, and I prefer digital, because technology advances so much every day and a plugin achieves incredible results as an analog one could grant.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: Each work is a different and exciting challenge. I won't be satisfied until the music shines in an incredible way.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Building a simple idea into something grand in the end. To think that such a work began with a simple foundation deeply involves me.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: One of the best questions I'm asked is how can I mix genres in interesting ways that can understand each other. My answer is always the same: if you love what you do, you can definitely find amazing ways to test without fear of failure. Some people just don't advance a certain limit because they don't know how to take more risks.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: Lyrics can be interpreted in many ways if they are not intertwined with a melody that makes sense. The biggest misconception is the lyrics and melody don't get conversations with each other. This sense that we always need to be in concentration

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What is your primary goal with this song? Who is your target audience? Why would this song change someone's life?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Don't be afraid to present your most different ideas. The world is already full of patterns, and a bright spot could be the key to the change the world needs.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: My guitar will always be my greatest gift! haha. I couldn't miss my notebook, my interface, my phone and my external HD where all my musical life can be found xD

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: My musical experience with instruments goes back a long time, about 5 years to be exact. In music production I started 2 years ago, always studying and evolving a little more every day to finally reach a great potential!

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I've always loved mixing genres in order to get unheard-of results. Even having my biggest base in Indie, I don't put myself in a standard style, but in a style of my own.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: Coldplay would be a great bet, because the team manages to shape and surprise with each work released, in my opinion. The diversification and quality that they have acquired over time should be an inspiration for everyone.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: No matter what main genre you choose to work with, the most spectacular thing about building a song is how it can capture your feelings and transform you through the melodies!

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
