Rock, Jazz and Brazilian Music are what Rogério Maudonnet's music is about. He combines styles from Steve Morse, Pat Metheny and Egberto Gismonti.

Guitarrist and composer, Rogério has created soundtracks for major TV advertisements, such as Quiksilver, Sprite, Gatorade and Greenpeace. With his band, based in Brazil, he blends a multicultural musical language in a natural way.

"Working with ads made me experiment different genres of music. Playing with the guys, Leandro Lauretti (drums) and Marcio Lugo (bass) made this possible and fun."

In 2001 he received a scholarship sponsored by Fender Instruments to attend the Berklee Summer Program.

In 2003 Rogério came second in the Souza Lima-Berklee Composition Festival (São Paulo, Brazil), with the song "Brazil".

The Spanish guitar magazine "Guitarra Total" selected the tune "Formula One" to be in the March 2004 CD issue. Guitarra Total did a great write up on Maudonnet's demo CD containing "Formula One".

As Guitarra Total wrote: "Rogério is a very talented guitarist and composer, and we've a feeling that we're going to hear great things about him soon!"
