Pedro is a highly versatile guitarist hailed for his ability to adapt to all kinds of artistic realms and working with artists to help them achieve their vision.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Pedro Silveira is a guitarist, producer, arranger and composer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with a Masters Degree in Music (UNIRIO). With a diverse career, he has collaborated, on stage or in studio, with artists such as Alma Thomas, Baby do Brasil, Elza Soares, Leo Gandelman, Liz Rosa, Ney Matogrosso, Pedro Luis, Ricardo Silveira, Roberto Menescal, Taryn Szpilman and Zeca Baleiro. He has also been part of several musical plays and toured around Brazil with the award winning "Gota D'Água a Seco". As a composer and producer, he's created soundtracks and sound design for video productions of companies such as Brasas, Globosat, Hurb, Reserva or TEDx, and he's composed original music for the award winning documentary “Quanto Tempo o Tempo Tem”.

As a solo artist, he's released his first album “Bons Ventos” in 2019 and is now finishing his second one, "Costeiro", where he plays exclusively the ukulele. He's also been a part of Bondesom, an original and instrumental driven band from Rio de Janeiro, for 12 years, with whom has recorded two albums.

In his studio, Pedro has a variety of top class acoustic and electric guitars and is also skilled on the ukulele and bandolim. Known for his creativity and for being very genre versatile, he can navigate from pop, rock and blues to latin or jazz and, if you want the “brazilian blend” he's the guy.He prefers working from written material, or chord charts, to come up with the guitar parts you need, from catchy riffs and melodic lines to funky comps, solos or ambient guitar pads.

Pedro did an outstanding job providing both electric and nylon acoustic guitar accompaniments for my original song. His communication and expertise are superb. I strongly recommend him for all your guitar requirements.
