Fabio Lessa

Fabio Lessa has established himself as a premier force in the Brazilian music scene, serving as a first-call bassist and musical director for some of South America’s most influential artists. Growing up immersed in the rich rhythmic traditions of Brazil, he developed a style that seamlessly blends traditional Latin grooves with modern pop and funk sensibilities. His career is highlighted by his work with icons such as Gilberto Gil, Ivete Sangalo, and Preta Gil, for whom he has served as a long-time musical director. A regular at the NAMM Show, Fabio is a key global ambassador for Tagima Guitars, frequently conducting clinics that focus on the technical intersection of "the pocket" and sophisticated signal processing in a session environment.
