André Valério’s Biography
Brazilian multi-instrumentalist André Valério is in high demand as a guitarist, composer and arranger. Mr. Valerio’s versatility has taken him around the world to perform in important music festivals and venues in Canada, the Netherlands, Mexico and Brazil. His interest in music began at a very young age after listening to Brazil’s most enduring musical genres, Bossa Nova. Inspired to compose and arrange since as a teenager, André took a strong interest for classical music and jazz among other styles, passion that lead him to learn his six instruments: acoustic guitar, piano, mandolin, cavaquinho, bass, and electric guitar.
