Vinícius Cavalieri Coutinho de Sá is a film composer, multi- instrumentalist and director from Sao Paulo, Brazil, based in Vancouver, BC. Vinícius has been involved with music since he was 4 years old. He grew up playing in several bands and in the worship team at church. After graduating high school, he started studying Music Production at Anhembi Morumbi University and Acoustics at the school IAV. Studying at Anhembi Morumbi was a great opportunity to expand his knowledge on music technology, recording techniques, mixing and mastering. By that time, he would record and produce his own music, while writing music and performing with his progressive rock band God's Equation. While studying Music Production in Brazil, he got into Berklee College Of Music. Right after graduating at Anhembi, Vinícius moved to Boston to start studying at Berklee in 2012, majoring in Film Scoring. Since then, he participated in several recording sessions and project bands. By that time, he developed his skills in orchestration and dramatic scoring, writing music for different movie scenes that evoked specific emotions, also learning the techniques for film music editing and maneuvering different digital audio workstations. In 2016, Vinícius wrote the music for a short film for MJPOP and Visão Mundial (communitarian project in Brazil) telling the story about the CPBM (Community Based Performance Monitoring). On the same year, Vinicius graduated at Berklee, in the area of Film Scoring and has been working as a film composer ever since, writing the music for the feature-length documentaries "Pebbles, Ripples and Waves: The Life and Times of Gordon Hunt" and "Mud Refugees", as well as the short films "Mak And Fran" (director/composer), "Flipside", "The Interview", "And...Action!" and "Detention".
