It’s a great thing to work on the albums of so many amazing artists.
I think I developed my production skills just so I could help myself and to be independent. Soon I realized that I could help other artists to record their music too. I had already produced a few albums in Brazil, but I really polished my skills when I moved to Philadelphia and started working at Aurum Studios, under British engineer Paul Atkinson. In New York I learned a lot from working at No-Mystery and Boondog Studios, with the great guitarist Alex deCarvalho.
I think I am a “hands off” kind of producer, I try to listen a lot and only fill in on areas where it may be necessary. I try to really grasp the vision of the artist. Sometimes that means sitting back and just touching an EQ, or just be there with attention to notice when a song hits that sweet spot. Sometimes it’s very evolved, in situations where I get to arrange, program and play many instruments, contribute to the writing. It’s always new, two days of recording are never the same, there’s always a chance to try something different.
Today I have my own production studio in Uptown Manhattan.
A friend told me it’s my rising zodiac sign in Libra: I find it easy to be balanced with other people’s music, but really hard when it’s my own. 
These are some artists definitely worth checking:
- Marcello Dugettu (Brazilian Hip-Hop/Rap)
- Karina Yanku (Massage Therapy Music)
- Forever Forward (Inspirational: Gospel/Jazz)
- Claudia Otero (Brazilian Popular – MPB)
- Wayne Hsu (Alternative, Singer-Songwriter)
- Noel Gonzalez (Pop)
You might also want to check my solo albums of Brazilian Pop, as they were all self-produced and there’s a wide range of styles there. There’s also a player there that will deliver full tracks. All albums available on itunes and other digital stores.

Hi Chloe,
You have a very nice voice. You seem to be moving in the right direction. You need a CD and for that you should work with a good record producer. I’m sure that there are great producers in England. I am in New York City, if you ever come here, please come by for a visit, so we can talk about your music.
best wishes.
Hi..Thanks for getting back to me so soon
..Also thank you for the nice comments 
.. I know I will need to work with a record producer for creating a CD, however, I do not have any way to get in contact with any good record producers. I would hope for someone who would be able to further my career but this is very difficult to find. Any way you could help me would be MASSIVELY appreciated such as contact details to record producers etc. Thank You Again
