Adriano Bravo
Known for SoundBrussels, Belgium
Ihave always been a traveler. I was born in Belgium and grew up in Bogotá, Mexico City, and Chapel Hill. When my family moved to New York City, I had the unique opportunity of attending the United Nations International School while my father worked for the UN. After graduating from SUNY Stony Brook with a BA in Political Science, I moved out to the San Francisco Bay Area with the idea of becoming a lawyer, but after a two-month motorcycle trip along the Pacific Coast, I realized that film was my passion.
After being a Production Designer and Art Director on several indie films and making my own documentary about an Oakland blues organist, I began to focus on location sound mixing. I have a passion for music documentaries and have worked on many, including Never Too Late: The Doc Severinsen Story, Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings, Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey, Sound Tracks: Music Without Borders, Approximately Nels Cline, and American Masters’ “Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound” and “Miles Davis: The Birth of the Cool.”
