I’m Edoardo Porcu, a Cagliari, Italy-based music producer, sound engineer, and DJ with a fire for music ignited in childhood and turned pro at 12-13 (around 2012-2013). Since November 2023, I’ve been crafting tracks in a professional studio in Cagliari, building on a decade of freelance production (2018-2020), live performances (2016-2019), and top-tier training at the London School of Sound (2017-2018). I’ve worked with local talents and drawn inspiration from global stages like Lucky Voice, London (2018-2019). Skilled in tracking, mixing, and mastering with Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, and Ableton, I play keys and program beats from scratch, specializing in pop-rock and electronic vibes.
