ok, it's June 2007, and i've been thinking i should update this site somehow, and i've been mostly producing records, so that's what's been keeping me really busy.
here's a few great people i'm working with, or have just recently worked with:
And check out the musical theater production Barry White - Guided by Destiny, which I am proud to be contributing to, with arrangements and orchestrations.

My first recording production experiences happened around the band Tonton Macoute, in Brasilia, Brazil.
A band that I am so happy to have been a part of and that was influential to my life in many ways.
Ever since then, producing records has been one of the main things in my life, a crucial aspect of how i relate to music and musicians.
After that I produced a few songs for my friend Gabriel Thomaz, then "Little Quail and The Mad Birds",
now: "Autoramas ."
Then I did soundtracks for films by Mauro Giuntinni and Katcha Donida.
At some point I Moved to Rio and started working with so many artists that I'm afraid I shouldn't make a list right now, for fear of forgetting someone.
I was lucky enough to record a few solo albums and to work with some great musicians and songwriters.
Recently I moved to the US and I have produced recordings for artists in San Francisco, Philadephia and New York, where I live now.
The first album I did in this country that came out commercially: A Boy Named Hsu by Wayne Hsu.
