Filipe Miu (born Filipe Mendonça, June 22, 1990) is a brazilian composer and musician known for his unorthodox approach to musical composition and distinctive sound.
Son of free jazz pianist Emilio Mendonça, Filipe was already involved in music since a very young age. He was a member of OSESP's (São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra) Children's Choir, where he performed Calr Orff's Carmina Burana, Strauss's Blue Danube Waltz, among other classical pieces.
Still at his early years Filipe went towards more popular music styles and electronic music. He worked at NaCena Studios, one of the main recording studios in São Paulo, where he was recording assistant and mixing assistant for several works of key Brazilian artists - such as Ney Matogrosso's Inclassificáveis and Simoninha's Melhor.
He was also one of the founders of Jennifer Lo-Fi. As musician and composer, he recorded and performed the first four albums of the group, including the album Nóia, which gained significant prominence in the underground of Brazil's alternative rock scene and awarded an indication to the Video Music Awards Brazil 2011, and a contract with Vigilante, the indie label of the mainstream recording company Deckdisc.
At eighteen years old, he was invited by the composer Eduardo Queiroz to create partial soundtracks for the movie Bellini e o Demônio with other composers such as Andreas Kisser (from Sepultura) and Felipe Alexandre. In the next year he wrote partial soundtracks to another movie, Cabeça a Prêmio.
Filipe went to obtain a bachelor's degree in Philosophy at the University of São Paulo, while still writing few original soundtracks for Zero Hora News, the original score for the TV-documentary Uma Vida para Ana Luiza and music for the short-film Tânatos.
Leaving university, the partnership with Eduardo Queiroz was rekindled and Filipe began to create soundtracks for TV-series and telenovelas of Rede Globo, the largest TV network of South America. He also started to create original soundtracks for Superinteressante's video series, advertising and documentaries.
