Albino Guimaraes

Not until faced with the "real" world did Albino decide to convert his lifelong love of music into a pursuit! Disregarding a degree in practical matters and philosophy, a chance encounter with Music Industry Royalty landed him in the mailroom of Capitol/EMI records in New York where Albino delivered mail for the likes of Paul McCartney, Crowded House, Huey Lewis & Megadeath. Having touched the mail of greatness, Albino became an A&R Pee On with Chrysalis Music Publishing where he never received credit for placing songs with Expose or the Muppets, overlooking Lisa Loeb or for discovering the Dave Matthews Band. Since leaving the “biz”, Albino has installed jet fuel pipe at JFK Airport, been inside the Brooklyn Bridge, road a dotcom bubble from NYC to Hartford, drove to Seattle for a job and back twice, was discovered at an Open Mic/Bingo night just north of Newcastle, England, toured the world (as an IT Geek) and all the while has been writing and performing his own compositions and reorganizing other people’s songs presented to him by his muse.
