Hi! I’m Cesar Machado, a Brazilian drummer, arranger, producer, and mixing engineer with over 20 years of experience in the studio and on stage. I work from my own professional recording studio, delivering remote drum sessions, custom arrangements, full music production, and mixes with authenticity, precision, and musicality.
I've collaborated with many of Brazil’s top artists — including Grammy winners and nominees — and have recorded for major labels, international albums, and film soundtracks.
In 2021, I released two solo albums, “Viagem” and “Natureza”, which explore the richness of Brazilian rhythms with a contemporary touch.
