Thales Tkzin is an award-winning independent artist who lives what he teaches. A multi-instrumentalist, music producer, composer since the age of 9, and programmer in his spare time, Tkzin built his career outside major centers, facing the same obstacles that hinder thousands of artists worldwide. Winner of the Hangar Music Award, semi-finalist for the Music Professionals Award, and with projects selected by grant programs such as PNAB, LPG, and Formemus, he taught himself to create, revise, and get cultural projects approved with strategy and originality. He has performed at festivals such as MPB 84, Trap World, and Rapresenta, released award-winning music videos like "Ansiedade" and "Manual de Instruções," and received direct mentorship from Rick Bonadio and lessons at studios like Midas Music and OneRPM. More than just filling out spreadsheets or following ready-made formulas, Tkzin learned to use Artificial Intelligence to build projects from scratch—and now he shares this survival tool with those who want to move beyond the draft stage and live from their art.
