 David Brinkworth was born and raised in London, England.

His professional life as a singer-songwriter in the early 1980s opened the door to recording studios. From tape to digital, from guitars to synthesizers, from conventional drums to electronics, music came into his life to stay.

John Martyn, Kula Shaker, Amy Winehouse, Kirsty Hawkshaw, Boon Gould, Tom Hingley, Martin Barre, Jonathan Harvey, The Creators, MC Ribbz, The Bass Mechanic are some of the names David has worked with as a producer and sound engineer in England.

In 1996, in partnership with Mark Pritchard, he created the “Harmonic 33” at Warp Records, where the three reference band albums were recorded in HipHop electronic music from the beginning of the millennium. “Planet 54” from the vinyl “Music for Film and Television, Volume 1” was part of the soundtrack of the series CSI Miami.

In 2005, at the invitation of Farout Records, he came to Brazil to produce projects by internationally renowned artists such as: Azymuth, Arthur Verocai, Os Ipanemas, Antônio Adolfo, Marcos Valle, Maurício Maestro and Nana Vasconcelos. In 2010 he moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after being enchanted by the rich musical diversity of this country. Where he follows his career in the music world, working with several artists: Baby do Brasil, Marcelo Yuka, A Cor do Som, Arthur Verocai, Rodrigo Lessa, Katia B, Hugo Fattoruso, Zé Carlos Bigorna, Idriss Boudrioua and Boca Livre.

One of the first memories I have of music, is seeing my father come home from work every night and installing himself in his favourite armchair in front of the stereo, where he would sit, tune into the FM band on the radio and just listen with one finger paused over the record button of his Sony TC-134SD cassette-corder waiting to capture a sound that pushed all the right buttons. if i close my eyes I can still see the VU meters illuminating the darkness until this very day. There was something magical happening here, sound transmitted through the atmosphere and re-assembled ready for consumption by the eager listener. I still have some of the tapes that he compiled, an eclectic mix of Beatles, Gino Vannelli, Jean Michel Jarre, Bob Marley, Bee Gee’s to name but a few … My mother was strictly Frank Sinatra & Johhny Mathis, with the odd Hollywood musical number thrown in for good measure.

We all have the famous RCA Victor image of the dog staring into the gramophone ingrained into our cultural memory … well, that was me, hooked, I had to learn what was going on here, and I was going to stare into that cone for as long as it took to find out.
