Hi, my name is Rafael Francischangelis and I'm a brazilian session bassist from São Paulo. I'll record whatever bassline you want and explore new ideas and sounds if you'd like.

I studied at Faculdade Souza Lima, also located in São Paulo, where I took classes with some of the most respected names in instrumental music, such as Sizão Machado, Nenê, Vitor Alcântara, Daniel D’Alcântara, Bob Wyatt, Guilherme Ribeiro, Lupa Santiago, Fernando Corrêa, among others.

I’ve been a musician for 25 years, and I’ve worked in a variety of styles — including Samba, Soul, Brazilian Popular Music, and Bossa Nova — performing in tours, concerts, recording sessions, masterclasses, and teaching.

I enjoy listening to and playing different genres, especially music from my home country, Brazil. Within Brazilian music, I’ve drawn inspiration from several bassists, including Sizão Machado, Luizão Maia, Tião Neto, Azeitona, and Jamil Joanes.
