ON MOST DAYS WIL THINKS HE’S PORTUGUESE. DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE SURNAME, HE’S NOT. WHAT HE IS THOUGH, IS AN AVID MUSIC BUFF WHO CONSUMES ALL THINGS MUSICAL.
BEFORE STARTING MANGO JAM, WIL SPEND 10 YEARS AT YOUNG & RUBICAM, DUBAI. PICKING UP AWARDS ALONG THE WAY AND MAKING REGIONAL CREATIVE DIRECTOR. HOWEVER, THE PULL OF MUSIC PROVED TOO STRONG AND NOW WIL LOVES ‘SINGING FOR HIS SUPPER’. HE BRINGS WITH HIM BAG-LOADS OF EXPERIENCE FROM YEARS SPENT IN THE ADVERTISING TRENCHES AND A CREATIVE SPIN ON SOUND DESIGN AND MUSIC PRODUCTION. MANGO JAM IS HIS INITIATIVE TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, ONE RADIO SPOT AND ONE FILM AT A TIME.
SHE MAY BE TINY BUT SHE’S DEFINITELY NOT ONE TO BE MESSED WITH.
A BUDDING MUSIC PRODUCER HERSELF, SHIVANI, OR SHIV AS SHE’S FONDLY KNOWN, BRINGS A TECHNICAL LEANING TO THE OPERATIONAL SIDE OF THINGS.
SHE’S AN ESSENTIAL COG IN THE WHEEL. MANAGING PROJECTS AND CLIENTS WITH EQUAL APLOMB. AND OFTEN ESCAPING WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE MUCH TO EVERYONE’S DELIGHT.
JAY IS A PROVEN HEADLINE ACT, HAVING OPENED FOR THE LIKES OF GUNS AND ROSES WHEN THEY CAME TO THE UAE.
HE LIVES, BREATHES MUSIC. NOPE, HE DOESN’T EAT, HE’S TOO BUSY WRITING A SONG OR COMING UP WITH A NEW SOUND THAT REDEFINES COOL. HE’S A GUY WHO IS CONSTANTLY RESEARCHING AND IN FACT IS STILL STUDYING MUSIC.
HE’S BEEN THE LEAD COMPOSER AT MANGO JAM SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2019. AND IN A VERY SHORT SPAN OF TIME, HE HAS COMPOSED AND CREATED MEMORABLE MUSIC PIECES FOR CLIENTS LIKE GMC, OPPO, HUAWEI AND ETIHAD AIRWAYS.
OUR RESIDENT KHALEEJI MUSIC AND HIP-HOP SPECIALIST, MO STARTED OFF WANTING TO BE AN IT ENGINEER. BETTER SENSE SOON PREVAILED AND NO ONE WAS HAPPIER THAN US WHEN HE DECIDED TO JOIN THE TEAM.
OVER THE YEARS MO HAS DONE SOME STELLAR WORK FOR NAMSHI, MOBILY, STC…TO NAME A FEW CLIENTS.
HIS ABILITY TO CRACK BRIEFS, COUPLED WITH HIS CAN-DO DEMEANOUR MAKES HIM ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR JAMMERS.
A GRADUATE OF SAE SINGAPORE, ACHINT HAS EARNED HIS MUSICIANS STRIPES BUSKING IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD.
HE’S A TALENTED SINGER, GUITARIST AND ALSO OCHARINA PLAYER. (WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT AN OCHARINA IS BUT WE TAKE HIS WORD FOR IT).
HE’S OFTEN THE GO TO GUY FOR DOING TEST READS OR EVEN GUIDE JINGLE TRACKS. And definitely our man for sound design.
HIS PASSION BESIDES MUSIC IS PLAYING GAMES, ON BOARDS OR SCREENS.
AMEEN IS THE LATEST EDITION TO THE MANGO JAM TEAM. AN ACCOMPLISHED ARTIST IN HIS OWN RIGHT, AMIN IS ALSO A MUSIC PRODUCER OF REPUTE. HE BRINGS WITH HIM A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF REGIONAL MUSIC AND CURRENT TRENDS.
WITHIN A SHORT SPAN OF TIME, HE HAS ALREADY CHURNED OUT A SIZEABLE BODY OF WORK. NO TASK IS BEYOND THIS TALENTED TEAM PLAYER.
Kay not only does what it says on the box, but she can also sing. A firm favourite with Voice talents, she’s the one responsible for ensuring that sessions are turned around like clock-work.
The latest addition to the team, Keerthi has in a short span of time stream-lined processes and added much value to everyday operations. When it comes to numbers, she has them dancing to her tune.
Hari is our man for all seasons. If something needs to get done, he’ll make sure it happens. And all with a big smile.
