PROFILE: With 18 years of experience in the music industry booking acts and staging events I have developed a large network of contacts including journalists, bloggers, radio hosts, artists, agents, external promoters and record labels, within Canada and the rest of the World. Born and raised in Brazil and fluent in both English and Portuguese, the bulk of my work and engagements reflect my commitment to cultural diversity and my sincere passion for artistically driven music. As the principle liaison between the venue(s) and agents and managers, I am always in direct contact with all the artists I present in addition to often collaborating with various partners which can include performing organization, festivals, embassies, conferences, etc. My work requires meticulous organizational skills (with proven ability to deliver complex projects), unique signature negotiating skills, a good understanding of the digital music market and the commercial, creative and technological issues associated with it, in addition to budget handling and financial reporting.
