FLÁVIO FRANCO ARAUJO

Flávio Franco Araújo is a composer, pianist, keyboardist, guitarist, music producer, arranger, mixing and mastering engineer with 33 years of experience. Founder of BongÔMusics in 1993, he has built a solid and multifaceted career over the decades, combining technical excellence, artistic sensitivity and social purpose.

Self-taught, Flávio developed his musicality from a deeply rich family environment — opera, classical and erudite music, great orchestras, soundtracks from the great romantic and dramatic American films, bossa nova, samba-canção, ballads, instrumental music and the greatest names in jazz. This plural and rich musical heritage is the soul of everything he creates. A large part of his compositions are recorded at the exact moment of creation and inspiration — capturing the living and spontaneous essence of each musical idea.

🏆 PPM Champion 2025 — Prêmio Profissionais da Música Category: Music and/or Information Podcast, with the project Músicos Ajudam — a channel and podcast dedicated to artists in vulnerable situations. Among the most remarkable actions are the lives held in honor and support of great names of Brazilian and world music residing at the Retiro dos Artistas in Rio de Janeiro, such as Leny Andrade, Flora Purim and Airto Moreira, as well as coverage of humanitarian tragedies such as the floods in Rio Grande do Sul, Paraty and Petrópolis, support for the Pets of Ukraine and musician and bassist Jamil Joanes.

Three-time finalist of the PPM in production categories, including Best Recording Studio, Best Mixing Engineer, Best Mastering Engineer and Best Mastering Studio.

His debut album Solitude, for solo piano, marks the beginning of a deep and intimate original work. The second album A Place to Dream, released by AzulMusics, is being built through singles — Aquarian, Late Afternoon, Autumn Flowers, Flying and Walking — each a unique soundscape recorded with audiophile quality, using the Vienna Symphonic Library and Steinberg Cubase 15. The singles Aquarian and Walking also feature exclusive videos available on Spotify.

Partner of Yamaha and Steinberg — using Cubase since 1993. Works with Slate Digital, SSL and Universal Audio — world references in audio technology.

An artist who believes that music is a bridge. Between people, between worlds, between the technical and the human.
