Biography

Bruno Migotto is a renowned Brazilian double bassist, composer, and music educator, born in Campinas, in the interior of São Paulo. He began his musical journey at age 11 and, at 17, moved to São Paulo to study at the Souza Lima college, affiliated with the Berklee College of Music. His career solidified in the São Paulo instrumental scene, performing with a wide range of national and international artists, such as Gilberto Gil, Ivan Lins, Chico Pinheiro, Lee Ritenour, and Dave Grusin. Migotto is known for his versatility, playing both the acoustic and electric bass, and for his deep exploration of rhythms and harmonies.

Throughout his career, Bruno Migotto has released solo albums such as "In Set" (2010) and "Adapt" (2023), in addition to participating in various projects and bands, including the Soundscape Big Band and Trio Ciclos. In 2021, he founded the Bruno Migotto Trio, exploring new sonorities with synthesizers and electric pianos, which marked a time when he began playing other instruments besides the bass. His work as an educator is also prominent, having taught at institutions such as the Souza Lima Conservatory and Santa Marcelina Faculty.

More recently, Migotto has dedicated himself to the "Bruno Migotto & O Instituto" project, a musical collective that explores improvisation and polyrhythm, featuring original compositions and unusual instrumentation. The group has released albums such as "Unitiva" and "Alquimia", which blend contemporary jazz with Brazilian influences, hip hop, and electronic music. His constant pursuit of new sonorities and his contribution to Brazilian instrumental music establish him as one of the most important names in the current music scene.
