Coming from the city of Aracaju, capital of the smallest state in Brazil, Silverman “Apollo” Stefan – artistically known by the nickname apollo 808 – never allowed himself to be limited by any geographical or conceptual restrictions: Starting out as a percussionist in a reggae band, he made it just the beginning of its relationship with sound. In 2012 he had his first contact with music production, the year he also co-founded his first record label, where he dedicated himself to composing and singing. Graduated in the Cinema and Audiovisual course at UFS, he has improved his knowledge, along with a technical course in Radio and TV at SENAC and continuous training in fundamentals of audio and acoustics at IAV. In the cinematographic and advertising environment, therefore, he carried out some works with advertisements and in short films, directing or assisting in the direct sound and/or additionally participating in the processes of posting, mixing/mastering, creation of ‘foleys’, music and effects sound. All of this, obviously, goes into the particular sound of his musical works made available on streaming platforms.
