Hi, I’m Francisco. I run a fully equipped home studio and collaborate on a wide range of musical projects as a producer and sound engineer. I play drums, guitar, bass, and piano to bring ideas to life, and I handle production, arranging, recording, mixing, and mastering using Pro Tools to deliver polished tracks. Beyond music, I’m a co-owner and manager of a studio company with three locations in Marinha Grande. I excel at organization, inventory management, staff supervision, and coordinating multiple projects. I’m fluent in Portuguese and proficient in English, and I’m eager to contribute to a creative team as a remote music producer or studio sound engineer.
