Mario Vaz De Mello

About Me

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Mario Vaz De Mello was in his late teens when he began writing original music for theater, dance, television and film. To date Mario Vaz De Mello has created more than sixty original soundtracks for international stage and screen productions; his music is being continuously performed in Europe, Latin America and The United States. Nowadays living in Los Angeles, he has also released two solo CDs (" Bamboo Shadows " and " Inevitable "), through VMA Records .
With the release of his second album, "Inevitable", Vaz De Mello reaffirms his status as one of electronica's most innovative and thrilling talents. Having written, performed, recorded and produced all tracks, the artist delivers an album that is neither a follow up nor a departure from his debut effort. Electronic/instrumental music aficionados were aware of Vaz De Mello's uniquely personal approach to the genres since the release of his debut CD, "Bamboo Shadows". Presenting contemporary tracks with sometimes a distinctly Brazilian sensibility, the musician/producer mixes pop, classical, and techno influences in a ground breaking style.
His next album, "TRANS", is schedule to be released in September 2008.
Now available at MySpace.com: Preview "Negligent", from Vaz De Mello's upcoming album.
