Rodrigo Assad

Rodrigo Assad is the brother of Clarice Assad, another member of the Assad family, a world reference in music, but he followed his own artistic path in the audiovisual field. Combining his passion for image and sound, he created the avatar Nadri Brown, a digital chihuahua that brings his musical experiments to life. Through this playful and innovative alter ego, Rodrigo shares his compositions that blend sampling, global rhythms, and jazz influences, offering the audience a creative experience that crosses the boundaries between digital art, music, and audiovisual storytelling.
