Available to hire
Hi, I’m Luiz Bruno—a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and musician with a long-running passion for sound, music, and storytelling. I create soundtracks, sound collages, and improvisations across genres like avant-garde, experimental, psychedelic rock, and pop, while also working as a journalist and translator. My career spans live performance, recording, and education, combining creative practice with precise linguistic work and quality assurance.
Based in Porto Alegre and London, I collaborate across disciplines and languages to craft expressive projects that resonate with diverse audiences. I enjoy teaching guitar, producing and mixing music, translating between Portuguese and English, and providing QA support for games and media projects. I’m always exploring new ways to blend sound, language, and culture into meaningful experiences.
