Biography

Márcio Silvio Cotti de Miranda, known artistically as Márcio Lomiranda, was born in Belo Horizonte on March 12, 1957, but spent his childhood and youth in Divinópolis, where he began his musical journey on the piano and in local rock and ballroom dance bands. Later, he returned to the capital of Minas Gerais to study Conducting and Composition at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), joining the music scene alongside artists such as Sirlan and Banda Livre, in addition to working as a sound engineer for major names visiting the region.

Moving to Rio de Janeiro in 1978, Lomiranda quickly integrated into the national scene by joining backing bands for important icons of MPB and Brazilian rock. At the suggestion of keyboardist Túlio Mourão, he began accompanying Ney Matogrosso and, subsequently, consolidated a long partnership with Alceu Valença, participating in landmark albums and the historic first Rock in Rio. His versatility as a keyboardist, arranger, and producer led him to collaborate with names such as Gal Costa, Zé Ramalho, Marina Lima, Cássia Eller, Milton Nascimento, and Gilberto Gil, as well as joining electro-rock projects like Rútila Máquina alongside Paulo Rafael.

Since 1997, Márcio Lomiranda has been part of TV Globo's team of music producers, composing original soundtracks for the network's telenovelas and programs. Alongside his television work, he has released solo and authored albums, such as "Verdazul", reaffirming his importance in instrumental music and Brazilian phonographic production.
