Gonçalo Bernardo

I operate at the intersection of music and business: part label operator,

part commercial strategist, part producer.

Over the last 5+ years I have built experience across the full music industry stack - music production and sound engineering, live event production, artist development, label operations, and music distribution - while also developing a track record on the commercial side with B2B partnerships, CRM, and lead generation.

Based in Lisbon. Open to hybrid or remote.

At MC Distribution I converted 4 artists to signed distribution and marketing contracts through relationship-driven outreach, within my first 2 months in the role. At Attic57 Records, I led the music department, co-producing two original showcase events and co-developing the label's studio business plan. Prior to that, I generated 100+ qualified meetings for the sales team at Five Thousand Miles by prospecting C-suite decision-makers across Portugal and Brazil.

As a producer and mixing engineer, I have released work accumulating 50,000+ Spotify streams.

I am currently pursuing roles in the music industry where I can bring my two sides together: the industry knowledge (royalties and splits, DSP distribution, artist relations, label ops) and the commercial skills (sales prospecting, CRM, partnership development, lead generation).

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Management from ISCTE Business School, complemented by an Erasmus+ exchange semester at the Università di Pisa. I also hold a Grade 5 Music certification from the Academia de Música de Portimão.
