:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Music has always played a major role in my life. When I was young, I listened to hip hop, soul & funk, which quickly made me want to create music myself. I joined my brother @crosscgn to produce some hip hop beats using software and a MIDI keyboard. We had a lot of fun playing around and I think that time formed my taste in sound - I’m still into clean drums and subby basslines. Those first steps also made me understand how tracks are built - and what a solid groove is all about.

I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should. And so it all goes on in helpless darkness.

The JAOA project started when João Guilherme, 28, began his musical journey as a solo artist. Former vocalist of some underground Curitiba night bands, got his introduction to music as a child through his family, his mother sings, percussionist grandad, vocalist and piano player father, so he definitely had music running through his veins. 
In the eternal try to express the darkest and deepest feelings he had to deal with, JAOA found himself in some E-music underground genres as Minimal, Techno, Microhouse and stuff. That was probably the best move of his life, his tracks are intense, mesmerizing and euphoric, with groovy drums, super creative progressive basslines, dope vocal cuts, deep synths and a bunch of crazy FX, making him become a really interesting artist to have on your radar, his solid job will definitely take him far.
Inspired by artists like Enzo Siragusa, Ricardo Villalobos, Niko Maxen, Sweely, Michael James, Pascal Benjamin, Per Hammar, Olga Korol, Gene on Earth and maaaaany more, JAOA is definitely aiming for big and solid things, don't sleep on him.
