Composing Background, Education, or Experience Born in 1978, Nuno Cruz started to play the guitar at the age of ten. Always playing in several bands and genres, at the age of sixteen he produced an EP with his band mates, which was distributed worldwide and considered by the Swedish review as “the most promising project coming from Portugal”. Later the band split up, and Nuno went on to pursue other goals in Music – he started composing music for children’s theatrical plays, therapeutic theatre, as well as jingles for web sites and radios. Later Nuno went to University to study psychology, and ended his degree with a scientific research in the field of psychology of music. This research was the first, and remains to date the only ever made in Portugal. During his University years, Nuno joined a covers band and toured extensively through the major club scene in Portugal. Since then, he has worked with bands from both major and independent labels as producer, and guitarist. He also worked as arranger and composer for television, had his music in a CD compilation that sold 10.000 copies, made international tours as a classical guitarist, and dedicates his free time as a private educator of music theory and both classical and electric guitar studies. His latest work includes the music score for short animated films, TV indents, and advertising.
