Ivan Pedreira - first album "Fuzamiura"

Recording of my first album "FuzaMiura". I would like to invite you to be part of this project and want to thank you for your support , which will be fundamental for me to accomplish this dream.

Hi everyone, I'm Ivan Pedreira and I'm recording my first album "FuzaMiura".

To accomplish this final step, I've created this crowdfunding -  I Need Your Support - where you can  pre-purchase my album! You can find different support levels, with different rewards, I'm certain there will be one that will be your way to support my campaign and join me in this journey.

And it's a real journey: I've made the road, Carla Entrudo draw the map and, Nozes with a guitar on his shoulder and Lito with drumsticks sticking out of his pocket, crossed our road and joined us on this path.

FuzaMiura, as a project, was born of strong needs, mine and Carla's, of putting music speaking honest words and feelings, of letting go what we were feeling in and out of ourselves. The songs reflect a moment of our lives.

As you may have noticied, I'm FuzaMiura's composer, but also Bass player, Singer and Producer - my 4 greater passions. With me is Nozes (Bruno Nogueira) at Guitar and Production, Lito Pedreira with the Drums and Carla Entrudo collaborated with the lyrics.

We are recording at "HAUS" Studio's of  Fabio Jevelim and Makoto Yagyu, who recorded bands like Linda Martini, PAUS, Capitão Fausto, You Can't Win, Charlie Brown, between many others.

The FuzaMiura name emerged from the female/ male duality which lives inside all of us and in the heart of all relationships: Fuza, the sensitivity, delicacy and fragility of a  female side; Miura, the strength, robustness and determination of a male side.

The message to withdraw from this album is that everyone has value, even if it hasn't yet been found, either from outsiders or within. That each day is a new day, with a new energy, with a new will, with a new opportunity for self-respect and happiness.

The album will be released in June 2016 and now it´s the time for you to join us!

About the author

Ivan Pedreira, professional musician, bass player, composer, producer and singer, founder of  the label "Arte dos Sons" aiming music composition, production and teaching. I've worked as Bass player with some names and projects of the portuguese market (Paulo Gonzo, "Visions" Casino Estoril, Operação Triunfo, Kilindu, João Pedreira, Sandra Fidalgo, Piece of Cake) but it´s with my own music I feel complete and invest thousands and thousands of working hours, dedication and enthusiasm.

I was born in Sintra, in a musician's family, where music was on every single day,  so, with my father and my brothers, in my early teens, I embraced music and the bass as a communication vehicle, becoming my life's passion.

Through music I can express my soul, I can communicate my feelings, it's my way of giving back to the world all the good I have to offer.

My biggest aim and dream is to share this journey with everyone and I hope you'll join me.

I want you to be able to experience listening to an honest and sincere work, from someone who plays with heart and soul a new kind of rock. I want you to be able to feel with my music that something inside us that keep us moving on, that makes us aware, awake, dreaming and believing!

Join me!

Thank you for your support!
