Hi, I'm Thiago Oliveira. I’m a music producer, composer, and sound designer with over twenty years of experience crafting cinematic soundscapes across orchestral, electronic, and rock-infused genres. I’ve produced for artists like Warrel Dane, Isa Nielsen, Megaira, Seventh Seal, Insane Driver, and Total Disaster, and I also compose for film and video games, blending orchestral textures with electronic elements and Brazilian jazz influences. My work on Quero Dizer Te Adeus (2015), Minha Potira (2020), and Um Palmo (2021) reflects my passion for emotionally rich storytelling through music. I also bring a strong education background and a hands-on approach to live performance and teaching. I mentor students in music production, orchestration, and sound design, give guitar clinics (including NAMM Show 2019) and workshops, and collaborate with guitar and audio gear brands. Currently, I’m an endorsed artist for Solar Guitars, Spectraflex Cables, La Bella Strings, Mercuriall Audio, and Schultz Picks, and I continue to bridge classical training with modern production techniques in studio and stage.
