Breno Viricimo
Born and raised in the south of Brazil (Santa Catarina), I’ve moved to Amsterdam to continue my musical studies at the age of 21 years old in 2010. Growing up in Brazil has clearly influenced my attention to rhythm, both in the sense of the traditional sambas but also from the more recent productions. I love song-writing, playing guitars and basses. “That’s how I feel up my agenda: recording music, writing songs and playing concerts.” After many years of mainly performing live, Olaiá Music came to life: a digital platform in which the focus is creating and releasing Brazilian inspired music.
