Luciano is one of the most versatile and highly recognised engineers of his generation. Let your mix shine through his hands to make sure your song is ready to be released.

With over 30 years professional experience, Luciano Vassão started his career recording and mixing in 1986, working in several studios in Brazil. From 1995 onwards, he worked with major Brazilian popular music labels as a mastering engineer, especially focused on Brazilian gospel music. He took part in the process of digitizing the collection, restoring the audio of countless matrices, hence gaining massive experience in the analog to digital mastering process from an early age.

From there, the diversity of Brazilian music styles provided him a very vast experience, from samba to hip hop, from classical music to rock bands, from pop to jazz. Within national gospel music, he is one of the most requested names, having worked with all the greatest artists in this segment. His work has been awarded countless times, including 3 Latin Grammy wins, among many more nominations. One of the main characteristics of Luciano's work is his sensitivity in perceiving what the producer or artist has in mind and the best way to show it to the public. For this, working together with the mixing engineer is essential, so that the previous steps are respected and the mastering process only corrects directions, valuing ​​all the good that has been done to that point.

Luciano masters for Stereo and Dolby ATMOS formats, and is an Apple Digital Masters Certified engineer.

Luciano always has a nice point of view that just elevates all our projects. His mastering process is amazing from respectful and gentle to aggressive without any loss, when needed. I’ve worked with great engineers, but Vassão is for sure the one I like the most.

Luciano has been a reference of quality work and professionalism from the very first day I talked to him. Amazing at his job is an understatement. He is by far my favorite mastering engineer and I always go with him for all of my personal projects as well as most of my client projects because he is beyond excellent. Easy to work with, efficient and a master at his craft.
