Biography

André Ricardo Mehmari was born in Niterói on April 22, 1977. He has built a solid career as a pianist, composer, and arranger, standing out in both instrumental music as well as classical and popular music. His compositions have been performed by renowned ensembles in the country, such as the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (OSESP), the Petrobras Symphony Orchestra, and the Amazonas Philharmonic Orchestra.

Throughout his career, Mehmari has collaborated with major exponents of Brazilian music, recording and working on projects alongside artists such as Hamilton de Holanda and Ná Ozzetti. His multifaceted talent has earned him various recognitions, including the USP-Editora Abril Nascente Award in the categories of Popular Music and Classical Music, in addition to winning first place at the Visa Instrumental MPB Award.

With international projection, the musician signed a contract in 2010 with the prestigious Italian jazz label EGEA to release a series of solo albums in Europe. The first album of this project, titled Miramari, was recorded in Italy and further consolidated his reputation beyond Brazilian borders, combining erudition, jazz, and influences from our musical culture.
