I’m Vitor Sassef, a music producer and audio engineer based in Brooklyn. I focus on contemporary music creation—producing, engineering, arranging, and performing when it supports the sound—shaping sessions and finished tracks with a detail-oriented, collaborative approach. I’ve worked across studio production and label environments, supporting artists on recording sessions, helping with setup and session flow, and contributing to mixing/engineering in different contexts. Alongside my Berklee training, I also freelance as a composer/producer and performer, creating everything from sample-driven electronic productions to orchestral-style arrangements for large ensembles.
