The Founder

Diogo Guedes

I'm a Brazilian musician and audio engineer involved in music since 2002.

I was born in Recife in 1989 and started making music at age 9. Four years later, things got pretty serious and I was playing in festivals in nearby cities with my punk rock band. I studied graphic design for a brief period, but I graduated as a sound engineer.

This early passion for music evolved into a successful career working with some of Brazil's most notable artists, including winning a Latin Grammy in 2018 as a recording engineer for Lenine's "Em Transito", and working in numerous records and tours throughout Brazil and abroad as a FOH engineer for Maria Gadú (since 2015), but also for other artists such as Marina Sena, Lenine, Tiago Iorc, among many others.

I started developing custom tools for myself, and I have decided to pack some of these solutions into products, and make them available to other professionals.

"I create the tools that I someday needed. Every product solves a specific problem I've encountered in my own studio or live sound work."

— Diogo Guedes, OG Monster
