We recently connected with Pedro Dabdoub and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Pedro thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

I think i ve been through a lot of meaningful projects that had ignite me and inspire me for being better composer, producer and human being! I think each project i had in my life ask me for a better version of my self as an arstis. As i am a very versatil composer i love to proof my self each time. Of course i have several meaninfful beautiful projects as being signed in label as Universal Music in Mexico with a folk fusion project call UNO Then i developed my personal project as a research of a mexican jazz and i create JazzPango as a fusion of Huapango (folk mexican rythm) and Jazz Now i am very excited starting to produce cinematic music in LA as well as in Mexico

Pedro, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am Pedro Dabdoub Versatile Composer with 30 years of career Making music since 13teen years old and profesionally since 24 years old. Studing piano since 10 at Mexico City, then I travel to Paris at 13 years old and live for 4 years where i study piano but also develope my self as an autodidact composer.
I had then the oportunity to live at Buenos Aires and start the oficial career of composing at UCA (Universidad de Ciencias y Artes Musicales) I ve studied classical piano all my life. But studing as well Opera and some diferent chamanic sing techincs, Barroc and transverse flutes, Indian Music,LatinoAmerican Folk music etc to nurish my multiinstrumental skills and my passion as Composer
I ve been composing and producing for the industry at México for several famous top artists such as Alejandro Fernandez with the single “Me hace tanto bien” and “Tu Amor Perdi” or Danna Paola with “Mundo de Caramelo” a very succesfull “Atrevete a Soñar” soap opera from Televisa or “Final Feliz” as main theme from Netlix soap “Elite” Lilla Downs, Gloria Trevi, etc.
I had worked with top mexican producer as Mario Domm. Aureo Baqueiro, Mario Contreras, Memo Mendez Guiu etc.
I been “La Voz Mexico” Vocal Coach working with top mexican artists as Yuri, Paulina Rubio, etc.
I ve teaching composition and vocal improvisation at the Composer Society in Mexico (SACM)

So when it comes to produce an artist i have the whole package, from the creation of an honest, comercial and empowered concept and from there the understanding of the best composition, vocal direction, production, mixing and master of any style!

I have a brand @Alebrije Sounds as my label. I ve been doing some live sessions for my favorite artist friends in mexico such as Maria Bernal, Alex Mercado, Ayala, etc.
Now i am working for Universal Music in Mexico producing intelligent songs for babys for a concept call NINANA
And still developing my mexican jazz lab call JAZZPANGO that celebrates 10 years this 2024
I ve been playing at several jazz and world music festivals as El Cervantino, EuroJazz, etc. and best jazz stages as Zinco Jazz Club, Jazzatlan, Parker and Lenox, etc. with the main mexican jazz players at the moment as Aaron Cruz, Tania Nandayapa, La Orquesta Nacional de Jazz de Mexico, Francisco Lelo de la Rea, etc.

And now i m working on Cinematic Music as my real composing passion starting my first long this year!!

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

I think we need more Stages and more Festivals to inspire as well artists and people!
Its amazing fun to jump at the middle of your living room singing your favorite song with your head phones but the experience of a real live concert sharing the colective energy with your artist its a powerfull act of human conection! Society will always need Artists as a soul and emotional representation of society!
I think artist become healers when, at the stage they can share this emotions and integrate them again in the colective but with transformed and magical feedback!!
A tour live session from around the world!
A university support for community artist with new vangard proposals
More founding supports And understand that a carrer of a violinist or any amazing performer its 10 to 15 years against a carrer of a administrative nature is 4 years Just the intelectual preparation should be better payed!! Art Heals so its not usless as many peolple thinks!

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Yes! To heal through my music. To conect people through sensibility. To explore new emotions To teach how to conect with your personal frequencys singing (per sona= latin- through you sound) For me the best creative journey is to be commit with your True and Beauty. After that, any concert, any song, any product will achieve its perfect quality!
