I'm an eclectic and a self-taught musician born in the Azores. My influences encompass Jazz, Classic music, New age, Electronic and film score composers. Since the early nineties, I've been creating music for film scores, commercial documentaries, advertisements, TV generics and CDs for local artists. Also have several original albums available in the main digital stores.
"Mário's music is elegant, moving and expertly contructed. We have been colleagues for some years now. I am also a composer. I have deep admiration for Mário's craft and ability. His music is never forced nor inauthentic. It consistently speaks from a place of honesty and necessity and always with something moving and compelling to say."
