About

I’m Everton, a Brazilian-born musician and composer based in Tucson, AZ. I blend classical training with contemporary production to create music for films, games, and advertising, using a range of DAWs and scoring tools. I collaborate with artists and ensembles to bring vibrant sound to diverse projects and love explaining concepts in a friendly, approachable way.

Currently pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts at the University of Arizona, I continue to develop my craft in music production, sound design, and scoring for media. I enjoy teaching and mentoring, and I thrive in collaborative teams that push creative boundaries.
