More on the artist:

==============

At the age of 15 Pedro started writing his own songs and in the same period he learnt to play the guitar. Thinking Music wasn’t a profitable career, after finishing school Pedro went and did 6 months of Pharmacy, then a year of Marine Biology only to realize that his true calling was in Music. So he packed his bags and moved to Pretoria, South Africa where he did a 3 year National Diploma course in Jazz, Performance and Sound Technology. After this he went to Los Angeles where he studied for a short period of time at the well known Musicians Institute, where he studied Professional song writing and Production. 

After returning to South Africa he formed a Rock band called Mrs. B and in 2006 recorded their first album. The band went on to record another 3 albums and was signed by Sting/EMI on a 3 album deal, but the band split up in 2013, by then Pedro was already doing some solo cover shows, later Pedro changed the name of the project to The Barbosa Experience as he felt every time he stepped on stage it was a different experience. 

In 2015 Pedro had put another band together and recorded the I GOT NO MONEY album with the Barbosa Experience and featured renown Brazilian Harmonica player Pablo Fagundes in one of the songs in the album. 

In January 2017 Pedro decided he wanted to record a few songs with a more international flavor and with higher standards than his previous recordings so he approached Mark Beling, well known Producer in South Africa and who is also a SAMA (South African Music Association) winner. Mark had been wanting to work with Pedro for many years and the two started working on some of Pedro’s songs, in the end a 10 track album was recorded, the album will be launched in September 2017. Pedro believes this is best work, and Mark pushed him vocally and emotionally to get the best out of this album, according to him this is the best collaboration he has ever experienced with a Producer. 

 However with his new album instead of going for the Party type of sound he decided to go for more heart and soul and the Album became a more Adult contemporary type of album, Rich in heartfelt Melodies and Groove.

Loved by many for his captivating Stage Presence and wide vocal range. He is a respected Musician in the South African Music Scene. 

“I pride myself in being a kind, confident, big guy that many have come to know and love. For everyone who has shown Me & My dreams any love & support, I am so Grateful!”
