Fabiano do Nascimento
Fabiano is a Brazilian-American guitarist, composer, producer, and arranger based between Los Angeles and Tokyo. His reputation has been built on a stunning tapestry of intricately woven, multi-string performances—praised by outlets like NPR Music as “seraphic… hypnotic and transcendent.” Rooted in Brazilian musical heritage, Fabiano merges the spirit of tradition with a personal sonic palette that defies genre and embraces boundless expression. His compositions draw deeply from Afro-samba and choro while seamlessly blending elements of American jazz, experimental textures, and electronica.
After leaving Brazil for Los Angeles in 2002, Fabiano’s singular sound quickly garnered attention, leading to collaborations with luminaries such as Airto Moreira, Arthur Verocai, Sam Gendel, Beirut, Aloe Blacc, Daniel Santiago, Itiberê Zwarg, and Vittor Santos, among others.
He released his first five albums through Now-Again Records — Dança do Tempo, Tempo dos Mestres, Lendas, Prelúdio, and Ykytu — followed by the duo album with Sam Gendel, The Room (Real World Records). His subsequent projects include Das Nuvens and Cavejaz on LA’s Leaving Records, and Mundo Solo on the UK’s renowned Brazilian label Far Out Recordings.
John Carroll Kirby
Though Kirby’s background is steeped in jazz, his signature sound blends genres and styles. A sought-after collaborator, he's worked with the likes of Miley Cyrus, Frank Ocean, Harry Styles, and Solange. Kirby earned a Song of the Year Grammy nomination in 2023 for his contribution to Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit.”
Since 2020, he’s focused on his vibrant solo career—releasing 8 LPs and earning two Libera Award nominations for Jazz Album of the Year. His work has received praise from Pitchfork, The Fader, and the Los Angeles Times. As a film composer, Kirby scored the soundtrack for Cryptozoo, which received the NEXT Innovator Award at Sundance. Most recently, he scored The Luckiest Man in America starring Paul Walter Hauser and Walton Goggins.
