Bruno Migliari

I'm first and foremost a bassist - but one that also composes, arranges and occasionally sings.

A Rio de Janeiro native musician with Italian roots, I'm active on the Jazz, Pop/Rock and World Music scenes. I play bass and sing background vocals for brazilian popular singer/songwriter/guitarist Frejat since 2001, and have played live and/or recorded with many other well-known Brazilian artists, such as Simone, Ana Carolina, Maria Gadu, Milton Nascimento, Ney Matogrosso, Lobão, Paulinho Moska, Leoni, Marcos Valle, Serjão Loroza and João Sabiá - as well as artists from other countries, such as Lokua Kanza (Congo/France), Quexie Montana (Zimbabwe), Susanna Stivali (Italy) and Avi Wisnia (USA).

On the jazz front, I lead my own Bruno Migliari Trio and the fusion project 8VB (with Italian guitarist Chester Harlan). I'm also the bassist for the celebrated Leandro Braga Trio (led by the pianist/arranger/composer), and for saxophonist/composer Quito Pedrosa's quartet.

On TV, I was the bassist on the first season of the popular TV show The Voice Brasil (aired on 2012), and acted as bassist and music director for the TV series Claro Q É Rock during it's two seasons (aired on 2005 and 2006).

I've written music for cinema, tv and contemporary art video-installations, producing music from my "creative bunker", the 8VB Studio. There I write and record my music and also record bass tracks for other artists around the world - you can send me a message if you're interested!

I write a regular column for Bass Player Magazine (Brazilian edition) and offer online bass lessons - again, just send me a message if you're interested!

I endorse N.Zaganin electric basses, Elixir strings and Fire pedals.
