Award-winning composer with a feature film score premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. I collaborated with acclaimed Swedish musician Björn Olsson in 2024, blending orchestral textures with raw instrumentation. In 2023, I toured across South America supporting the French psych-pop super group La Femme with my band The Royal Thieves.
I use music as a means to translate diverse sonic stimuli—drawn from both contemporary popular and folkloric traditions—into emotional sensations. My creations are minimalistic, guided by emotion and melody. In my compositions, I often establish a dialogue between mellow baroque pop harmonies and a dramatic, ethereal, dream-like atmosphere.
I work meticulously, focusing on crafting unique timbres in each piece. While I have a deep appreciation for analog recording techniques, I also enjoy the precision and creative possibilities offered by digital editing.
My work is deeply influenced by 1960s baroque pop and psychedelic indie music from across the decades. With a multicultural background, my taste and perspective are shaped by diverse cultural experiences, both in the studio and on stage.
I currently live in Punta del Este, Uruguay, where I’ve established my own studio. I was born in Brazil and have lived in multiple cities across different continents throughout my life.

Endorse Diego Placeres
Working with Diego has been incredible. He produced two of my tracks (and we're working on another EP coming soon) and brought unmatched creativity, detail, and care to the process.
He went above and beyond—leading with vision while always listening and making space for my ideas. It felt truly collaborative.
Beyond being incredibly talented, he’s also kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested. The results blew me away. If you want someone who elevates your sound while staying true to your voice, he’s the one.
