Member Since: 08/01/2008
Band Website: http://www.maximizerecordings.com
Band Members: Lisbon based Artist, DJ and Producer born in Lisbon raised in a small but big talented town called "Torres Vedras". Soon discovered the world of Music & Aesthetics.First as a drummer and art student involved in rock music, then, started DJing at the age of 14 with friends [using regular home stereo turntables (hard-work! But...just part of a process)].Being born in a family were all his brothers loved and played music also helped. His older brother Pedro Moreira runs a great studio called Lounge Recordings.The passion for music grows each day...but the dedication also went to his academic and professional career as Graphic Designer developing lots of work for some well-known Portuguese brands, companies, art events, etc...First as freelancer and later as agency based designer, and Sound Designer for multiple medias including TV commercials.Also known as: Freak, Geek, Music Digger, Technology Nerd, old Drummer brought from the 60s with the help of an ingenious time machine that Apple is still working on.I'm a guy that likes to party & go to nice after hours, when not locked in his own creative and research bubble. Learning is never too much.Always trying to work on my "best track" (don't like my last one that much) type of guy! Kinda eternal seeker of a perfect sound for some imperfect moment.Hate "regular" typical DJ sets as today we have to try and be more in order to make something valuable out of it - that's one of my main goals as DJ!NOW THE BAD NEWS ;) The Elephant DJ BOOKING: [email protected] | +351963379533
