Biography

Lucio Dorfman is a renowned Brazilian pianist, keyboardist, composer, and music producer, born in Porto Alegre on September 30, 1975. Coming from a family with a strong musical tradition, he began studying the piano at just four years old and built a versatile career spanning rock, pop music, and innovative instrumental projects. Moving to Rio de Janeiro in the 1990s, he established his name on the national scene by joining the famous rock band from Rio Grande do Sul Engenheiros do Hawaii.

During his time with Engenheiros do Hawaii, Dorfman participated in milestone moments of Brazilian music, such as the grand New Year's Eve show of 2000 on Avenida Paulista and the historic performance on the main stage of Rock in Rio III in 2001. Later, after leaving the group alongside musicians like Luciano Granja, he joined projects such as Massa Crítica and solidified a commercially and artistically successful partnership with pop singer Armandinho, earning gold records and working on the production of key albums in the genre.

Beyond his work in rock and pop, Lucio Dorfman expanded his creativity into audiovisual media, composing film scores and directing prominent DVDs in southern culture. At the same time, in partnership with singer Daniel Torres, he conceived the project "Lupi - Jazz Nativo", blending the sound of American jazz with the nativist roots of Rio Grande do Sul. The pianist also develops his solo instrumental work, reaffirming his importance in the contemporary Brazilian music scene alongside artists like Engenheiros do Hawaii and Armandinho.
