Zé Cruz - Trust Fall [2026]

This is the 7th record I released so far. Even though the art form I choose to express myself is through music, I’m starting to realise that all of these records

I put out tend to be more about the people I play with than the music itself. The music is more of a consequence, something that is triggered by a particular group of human beings that are willing to give their personal input through their instruments around a sheet of music that, by itself, means nothing. Nevertheless, I still love to write music, listen to music and practice my instrument. And cook. And play tennis. But as far as putting out a record, the whole process until the point where the music is released seems to be the one that feels my heart the most, because those were the times I got to play with them, laugh, learn and listen to their stories. I believe any record is much bigger than its tracks. As a composer, my goal was to create eight different music platforms so you can get a glimpse of how beautiful these three human beings are: José Pedro Coelho, Bernardo Moreira and André Sousa Machado. This record is not about me. It's about us.
