We had the good fortune of connecting with Danilo Amuedo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Danilo, why did you pursue a creative career?
Music came into my life in an organic way. My father is a musician and since I was born he has always kept me in the musical universe. My connection with percussion was always different. At a very young age, he felt that my way of expression through music would be playing percussion. So, in 98 during Christmas celebration, my dad gave me my first drum set. I was 4 years old


Talking about music as my artistic expression is like describing myself personally. When I play music, I am telling a story through sound. And I’ve learned that so organically with my dad playing his guitar. People can feel that when watching art performances and that reaction is what inspires me to keep doing what I do.

I would share a little bit of my culture by going to Fogo de Chão which is a famous Brazilian restaurant. They serve great food including a very traditional bean recipe. Also going to some beautiful places like the Santa Monica pier or the view from the hills. In California there are many incredible places to enjoy the beauty of nature.

I want to dedicate this to my family and friends. They gave me a very strong foundation to build on. I also have a lot of respect for my teachers in Brazil and at Berklee College of Music. I am so grateful for them.
