Biography
Bruno Miguel writes and produces music for his electronic pop band :PAPERCUTZ, a live touring band through his collaboration with other guest musicians.
After several releases, the band are currently part of Portugal's artist entity 'Enchufada' with their work appearing on various international labels. Their poltergeist pop has scored critical acclaim in magazines the world over, and they've previously won the 'Off The Beaten Track' category at the UK's Peoples Music Awards.
:PAPERCUTZ are currently promoting their sophomore album The Blur Between Us, recorded between Porto and the NY, with Chris Coady of Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and TV On The Radio behind the boards. Bruno has remixed artists like Nite Jewel, Sun Gliters, Abadabad, or Albert Swarm; appeared at festivals such as Exit and SXSW; and has even recorded in the same studio where The Pixies once laid down "Doolittle".
