oi! i’m eduardo, a music industry professional, with a focus on artist management, a&r and creative marketing based in new york. while i was always surrounded by music from an early age (you can imagine being that i was born in brazil), music became my own thing to experience in middle school when i spent $60 on my moms credit card to buy Blue Slide Park and On And On And Beyond by Mac Miller. sorry mom. this experience started an obsession with music and a deep appreciation for how it can make me feel things that cannot be explained with words. a feeling that i believe everyone experiences when they play their favorite song. this “feeling” became my why. i believe it’s a disservice for great music to not be brought to life and experienced, because i know the profound affect its had on me. because of this, i’m dedicated to discovering music that resonates with me, and tell it’s story in an authentic and impactful way.
