Today we’d like to introduce you to Andre Ribeiro.
Hi Andre, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Born and raised in Brazil, I came to Los Angeles to finish music school and study abroad.
I quickly realized the potential this city can offer so I started to put my brain to work.
Being a musician with a heavy background in all kinds of music approaches, I developed a way to stay busy in the Music business by playing Keyboards, Drums, Bass and Guitar.
To make things even more complicated for myself, I started Proggie Production. I do it all, from discussing a small backyard party to branding and supporting huge festivals and events.
I knew that I was against all the odds to even try to put a company with such a complete one stop shop.
It’s has been about 11 years of touring all over the world as well as working with upcoming artists to partnering with big names such as Lakers.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It has been a trip of my life lol, diving into situations where you have to prove to yourself why started and where do you see yourself in another 11 years from now. The main purpose of my business is to understand our client’s needs then act accordingly, I could have an event with just a small budget to the very next day do something completely lucrative.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Being an artist is not just being on stage (in my case) playing shows in Europe/Middle East. It’s being a creative source out of basically nothing, meaning you develop and idea from nothing into reality. I love the idea of how you have a big production of a song or an event, every details from how the lighting would look to where the cleaning crew would come in to clean at the end of your show.
Details is where Proggie Production comes in to set the bar really high
The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
Yes, even if you give up due what’s happening in the world, you are quitting everything you ever worked super hard to accomplish it.
