Born in Porto, Portugal, in 1987. Vasco Mendes grew up filming hi8 videos and editing the tapes till the camera stopped working. One day, he stole his grandfather’s camera to film a music concert: Led Zeppelin at FEsta do Avante. Thus, he passed easily from street theater to music videos, allying cinema and, obviously, music. He studied cinema and has collaborated with Bodyspace, Canal180 and Filmes da Mente. The importance of music on his work became more and more strong and Mendes has been working with musicians such as White Haus, Capicua, Glockenwise or Throes and The Shine.
