Pedro Kastelijns (Goiânia - Brazil, 1997) began making music to help overcome the weight of the world as he ascended into adulthood. Now as a songwriter, producer and visual artist based in Amsterdam, Pedro’s work encompasses painting, sculpture, installation, music and performance, carrying a playful sensibility and vibrancy. Currently, he has been working around the question 'How to build a house and how to live in it?”, metaphor for the search for shelter, physical and emotional, in one’s life, preparing for the release of his upcoming album 'Construção' (expected Fall 2024). His past releases include early recordings collection 'Raposa' (2015, Lalonge), 'Assim Nascem as Amoras' (2017, Grafisch Atelier Hidrolands), an illustrated poetry book accompanied by an original soundtrack and film, and his debut album 'Som das Luzis' (2019, OAR), featured as 'Album of the Day' on the prestigious online music platform Bandcamp and produced along with Benke Ferraz, guitarist of Boogarins (Latin Gramy Nominee). Pedro is a Gerrit Rietveld Academie graduate, and is currently supported by the Mondriaan Fund, the public fund for visual art and cultural heritage in the Netherlands. “Tropical spells meant to aid visits to other realms - music that serves as a hopeful balm to the soul.” Bandcamp Daily "Hermetic and unfathomable - Kastelijns found in music his necessary shelter."
