About
Marcelo Medeiros was born predestinatet to music. His first contact with vinyls happend when he was still a teenager, following the steps of his family who works at the radio stations. At 1984 he begun to work at Antena 1 FM Radio, cleaning and arranging the collection of radio vinyls, keeping in his own memory a musical encyclopedia.
The disco’ hits had all his attention – Gloria Gaynor and Barry White were his major references, and having them in his mind, he travelled to USA to graduate in TV and Radio.
