About Pedro Segundo
Pedro Segundo is the embodiment of dynamism. Equally at home behind 18th-century-style kettle drums and a five-piece drum kit, Pedro makes every object he touches a channel for his incredible musical energy.
Pedro grew up in Portugal and was reared on an eclectic blend of gospel, classical, jazz and world music. All of these genres have spurred him on to his singularly unique approach to percussion.
In 2010, whilst graduating at Guildhall School of Music and Drama he became the house drummer of Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club. Since then he has toured worldwide with Judith Owen, Dennis Rollins, Jon Cleary, Cyrille Aimée, Academy Saint Martin in the Fields as guest timpanist with Sir Neville Marriner, Murray Perahia, and Joshua Bell, Orchestra of the 18th Century, Kansas Smitty’s House Band, The English Concert including Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall, Santori Hall, Tipitina’s and LA’s Troubadour.
On screen, Pedro’s is a featured musician on both the latest Lion King’s Mufasa, and Wonka. Other film work include Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Vice and Cindy drama Road Trip.
In addition, the NPR Tiny Desk with Marta Pereira da Costa celebrating the portuguese guitar, has reached over 1 million views.
