Rodrigo

It's pretty simple. My name is Rodrigo and I write songs. It all starts with a great song and the goal is to have several great songs. Easier said than done. The songwriting process has many steps. Some songs don't require all steps, but the more steps you get in the process of finishing a giving song, the more you know about it. One of the steps is to play the song with a band, first in rehearsal and then live. This will reveal many things, and most of these revelations mean one thing: "go back to the song and fix it, re-write it, re-think it... a hundred times if necessary. It's all about the song.Also, during the day, I work as a Music Editor for Musico Pro Magazine (there should be an accent on the "u", but MySpace isn't hip to that). In my job, I review a lot of gear, mainly products related with guitars and tools for songwriters (interfaces, recording software, notation software, etc.) Another part of my job is to do interviews, and this is the part that is REALLY cool. I've had the privilege of speaking one-on-one with artists like B.B. King, Alanis Morissette, Abraham Laboriel, Slash, Aerosmith (Joe Perry), Widespread Panic, John Scofield, Kenny Garrett, Ignacio Berroa, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd, Marcus Miller, Oscar Castro-Neves; among others. All of these musicians have brought light into my heart and mind. Thank you.
