Tell us something about yourself.&nbsp;</STRONG></P> <P>Hi there! I’m Rodrigo - I used to be a lawyer, but I quit some time after getting into the music business. Today I’m a DJ and producer of soundtracks for fashion shows. I also work with sound branding. In other words, I’m a full-time music researcher and Spotify is today my main tool to find new (and old) stuff!</P> <P>Other than that, I love travelling, photography/video, and sports like basketball and badminton.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="porluizaferraz-2.jpg" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/36698iD25B50E75A2EA3C4/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="porluizaferraz-2.jpg" alt="porluizaferraz-2.jpg" /></span><STRONG>So, what kind of music are you into?&nbsp;</STRONG></P> <P>Well, I have to listen to several music styles constantly, so I’ve learned to love quite opposite genres, from classic jazz to indie rock, from deep house to soul, hip-hop, and disco...&nbsp; Just don’t bring me EDM and country music.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>What's your favorite music while running?</STRONG></P> <P>It depends on my mood and energy. I’ve even created two running playlists in Spotify. A rock-oriented one, which suits a more intense running, and the “light” version that also features some pop/electronica artists.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&lt;<IFRAME src="https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify:user:rbittencourt:playlist:5C1AVKbpCfP21LQRYqSGrv" width="300" height="380" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true"></IFRAME></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><IFRAME src="https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify:user:rbittencourt:playlist:4D6Vmh3R6jE8a5aO4Xqn2v" width="300" height="380" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true"></IFRAME></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>Which parts of songs&nbsp;come to your mind when thinking about your favorite sport?</STRONG></P> <P>The chorus of "<A href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4vzKNjVZaE751JITh9XGGy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huarache Lights</A>" by <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/37uLId6Z5ZXCx19vuruvv5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hot Chip</A>, and "<A href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1wgqttlPacpvmX5DKVboOa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paper Planes</A>" by <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0QJIPDAEDILuo8AIq3pMuU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">M.I.A.</A></P> <P>Also, "<A href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6CMy1qd2GJPKPfzpaKzOz6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frankie Sinatra (Extended Mix)</A>" by <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3C8RpaI3Go0yFF9whvKoED" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Avalanches</A> is great to play basketball.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>You like photography, how would you combine that with music?&nbsp;</STRONG></P> <P>When I have to create soundtracks for fashion shows, the stylists generally give me references like texture, shape, balance, pattern, mood, energy… and I think that these are elements present both in music and photography (and also fashion) so it’s something I always relate.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>Thanks for taking your time to chat with us.
