Original project:
Suahistoriaviramusica.com is intended to make a record out of people's stories. Everyone can send a story to the project's website. Once there, people can vote and elect the best story. Every month I used to compose, arrange and record a song about the chosen story and publish it in MP3 format at the same website.
Sucessos Sebrae:
In September 2011 the project was sold to SEBRAE, the Brazilian Agency for Small Companies, and is now called "Sucessos Sebrae" which means "Sebrae Successes". Now the project is focused on people who started their own business. Everyone can go to www.sucessossebrae.com.br and send a story. The best stories are becoming songs sang by three main stream Brazilian pop artists: Nando Reis, Arlindo Cruz and Gabriel Pensador. I now compose the songs and also write the screenplays of the video clips that are being broadcasted nationwide together with my friend Caio Figueiredo.
This song is based on the story of Pedro, a builder assistant who started to make soaps at home and became a business man. The artist singing is Gabriel, o Pensador. Probably the most important hip hop artist in Brazil.
This samba song tells the story of Clarissa, a dancer that opened a dance school.
This song tells the story of Fernando, a guy that used to buy and sell products through the Brazilian border and now runs a successful toy factory.
This is the story of Mazé, a woman who used to work cleaning the floor of a bank agency and now runs a candy company (Her candies are delicious by the way). The three artists were invited to sing together and Mazé was brought to the studio to enjoy her big moment. This one was by far the hardest song to compose, since it had to suit three artists from very different music worlds: rock n' roll, samba and hip hop.
