Fabinho Carioca was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil on 15 April 1976, the son of a Native Brazilian
Indian mother and a Brazilian French Italian father. He now resides & plays in Florida ,USA. ) Born inside the Samba , Bossa Nova ,Funk, Freestyle and Dance music roots from the Rio's famous
suburbs large samba schools stadium clubs till Copacabana & Ipanema Nights out, Fabinho Carioca started making noise aloud from 80's vinyls back in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in a small room for
hours. The first hard cut recordings were created from radio stations and old vinyls and later mixed on two tape decks am/fm microsystems. Fabinho Carioca moved to New York to study in 1994 and
with the help of his first computer started to listen to a wider variety of music like world music and classicals.
In 1995, at the age of 18, Fabinho moved
to Los Angeles where $300.00 he saved to buy his first Yamaha Keyboard - offered by a customer who held the keyboard for two months which was paid in full in three monthly payments. With the help
of the computer, it was easier to record and understand basic music parameters . Working for Hollywood studios installing editing equipment gave Fabinho the basic understanding of unedited
materials like movies, voice overs, tv series, music themes, etc. being transformed into a full production blending all the materials together. Later, Fabinho moved to Orlando, Florida where he
took piano classes (although he had been playing piano, untutored, since the age of 5). He then went to ARTI (Audio Recording Technology Institute), an Engineering School where he could really play
some notes and listen to them in a large THX room (Sound Quality Standard for Video, Cinema & Television). After recording numerous bands, mixing and working with the three areas of productions
(Pre, Pro and Post production) not to mention various movies scenes, aplying sound FX, voice over, foley and scores (Music theme of a movie), Fabinho graduated with decent grades and now plays at
home, which he calls the little studio.
He completed a Comprehensive Audio
Engineering program, consisting of 640 hours of hands on training and is fluent in all areas of Post Production for film and television, with emphasis in Foley, ADR, 5.1 Surround Mixing and
Stem-mixing all the work in film Post was done in THX certified room.

Fabinho Carioca tries to avoid loop
samples as much as he can and likes to key his own notes as he feels that this convveys the emotion of the music better.
He now produces his own music and would love to help others to move forward as well. He will also accept any opportunity offered in
the future to work with any project related to music, video & cinema production . A DEMO REEL is available upon request for interest and references
