Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, João Brasil completed his graduate studies at Berklee College of Music in 2004, returning to his native Rio afterwards. His work consists mainly of experimenting with collaging different artists and music styles, creating unique mash-ups that bring together seemingly impossible combinations. He also runs a party in Rio called "Calzone".

His work is available on his myspace page (www.myspace.com/joaobrasil) and it can be downloaded from his blog http://fmjoaobrasil.blogspot.com/, in which he released his album "Big Forbidden Dance" as well as his latest project, "Baile Parangolé".
