PRO CLASS — ONE OF BRAZIL'S TOP AUDIO & VIDEO SCHOOLS — INVITED ME TO CREATE ITS FIRST GUITAR EFFECT FOCUSED COURSE.
Guitar effects — from stompboxes to IR plugins — are essential tools for self-expression, but many players still lack clear, reliable guidance. Brazil never quite developed a strong “guitar influencer” scene. While that might sound like good news, it leaves fewer reference points — and fewer meaningful opportunities for advertisers.
ROGER ON MUSIC
Roger built an international career marked by a triple-platinum single, Grammy nominations, standout collaborations, and dozens of awards–including MTV and Cannes Lions. He achieved mainstream success with Anitta and Tropkillaz. He has produced music and sound for major global brands across film, TV, and advertising. Roger’s artistic sensibility also led him to collaborate with respected jazz and experimental musicians such as Nels Cline and Chico Pinheiro, showcasing his versatility across genres and formats.
ROGER ON GUITARS
After publishing over 80 specialized columns and writing the first book in Portuguese on guitar effects, Roger Leão merged experimental technique with expressive clarity. He collaborated with legends like Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), and rising stars like Yvette Young. His guitar work is defined by its creative risk-taking, and his authority is unquestionable.
PRO CLASS AUDIO & VIDEO
Pro Class is one of Brazil’s top institutions for Audio and Video education, known for its hands-on, excellence-driven approach to training professionals in music production, post-production, and audiovisual creation.
In 2025, the school took a bold step by launching its first creativity-driven online course focused on guitar effects — inviting Roger Leão to write and host the program.
The move reflects Pro Class’s mission: to push boundaries and raise the bar for music education in Brazil.
