João Luís

Music Composer & Producer

João Luís on SoundBetter

Worked with a 3-time Emmy nominee composer, Sheldon Mirowitz. Worked as a composer/arranger for Mistheria (Bruce Dickinson, Roy-Z) for his new Vivaldi Metal Project album. My goal, in whatever I do, is to compose to a project (as opposed to style) and to be able to make the audience forget the outside world for a brief moment.

I offer:

- Original music: I can compose original songs and also score for film, games, trailers and ads.
- Sequencing: if you need to bring MIDI to life and make it as real as possible. That includes everything from drums to an orchestra and choir arrangement.
- Mock-ups: if you need a good-sounding demo of your rough song.

I've scored award-winning shorts; documentaries; ads and have composed and produced music that stems from alternative to ballads to metal with world-renowned artists.
