About Cesrv
Cesar Pierri, aka CESRV, is one of the leading producers in São Paulo’s progressive electronic scene. Raised in Bixiga, Sampa’s historically Italian neighborhood, CESRV first dabbled in music with various bands in the Paulistana scene. Weary of the rigors band life, he turned his focus elsewhere and, in 2006, he began exploring electronic music and production, mixing analog and digital sounds with urban beats. His first official release Chances EP (2012) caught the ears of fellow artist and promoters alike, building his reputation as a chief producer and premier engineer in the city. He then cofounded Beatwise Recordings, a haven for innovative beats and experimental instrumental music. With nearly 30 releases under its belt, the independent label has been an unheralded success and a bright spot in the landscape of Brazilian music. While his nights are reserved for stages, Cesrv is always working on new projects with producers and lyricists from across the world.
