Q: What's your typical work process?

A: First I ask very well everything I need to understand the profile of the client, if you want the music to be delicate, or aggressive, very expressive or perhaps more "cold". I ask for references and I try to understand what sound you are looking for. Once I understood that, I start working and I try to deliver as soon as possible, and whenever I can send extra tracks, since I have verified that sometimes that shoots other creative ideas to the customer who had not previously thought. Finally, I do not end up the job until the client does not tell me he is pleased. If necessary, I will re-record whatever is needed.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have an AT2020 and a pBM microphone, like the U87. I also have some other specific microphones for the instruments, but that's what the best result gives me. I have a Focusrite Scarlet 18i8, and an unsettled room.

However, great artists who inspire me very much are: Egberto Gismonti, Brad Mehldau, Snarky Puppy, Louis Cole, Gabrielle Mirabassi, Giora Feidman, Caetano Veloso, Cannonball Adderley, Morphine, Charly Garcia, The Beatles, Marcelo Moguilevsky, just for say a few.
