Andre Correa (Brazil) is a Brazilian guitarist, composer, arranger, music educator, and author whose work bridges contemporary jazz, Brazilian music, and improvisation. His artistic voice is shaped by storytelling, exploring themes of identity, transformation, memory, faith, and human connection.

He holds a degree in Guitar Performance from Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA), where he received distinctions including the John Abercrombie Scholarship and the Guitar Department Achievement Award. During his studies, he was also a member of the prestigious Berklee Global Jazz Institute, collaborating with internationally recognized artists and educators, such as Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci and Joe Lovano.

Andre's musical journey began in Brazil, where he built a career as a performer, educator, and leader of music programs. Alongside his artistic work, he developed the FCA Methodology (Foundation, Connection, Application), a pedagogical framework focused on musical fluency, creativity, and artistic independence.

As a composer, he has released the singles For Norman, Eterno, Mousiké, Histórias, and Passagem, as well as the album Seasons (2025), a project that established his artistic identity through the integration of Brazilian musical influences and contemporary jazz language. In 2026, he expanded this vision with Andre Correa Live, an instrumental album recorded during special live performances that celebrates improvisation, collaboration, and the unique energy of live music.

His work has received international recognition through awards and media coverage. In February 2026, his composition Solitude earned a Silver Medal in the Contemporary Jazz category at the Global Music Awards, highlighting his contribution to contemporary instrumental music. In March of the same year, his composition Randy won the second round in the Best Instrumental Music category at the Zepstone International Film & Music Festival (ZepFEST), advancing as a finalist for the annual award taking place in August 2026.

Based in Orlando, Florida, Andre works as an independent artist, musical director, and educator. He currently serves as Band Director at Pine Castle Christian Academy while continuing to develop original artistic projects, performances, recordings, workshops, and educational initiatives aimed at empowering musicians and strengthening musical communities.

For Andre, music is more than performance. It is a language capable of communicating, connecting people, preserving stories, and transforming experiences into meaning.
