Welcome, George Macedo, a musician originally from the Island of Flores in the Azores, Portugal. He immigrated to New Bedford, Massachusetts, at the age of eight.

From an early age, he developed a deep passion for music, which led him to perform in bands throughout his youth—eventually playing in nightclubs up to six nights a week. George has been a long-standing member of the Portuguese-American band, Os Capitalistas (The Capitalists).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, he launched a solo career, allowing him to continue exploring his creativity. Since then, George has written, composed, and produced three full-length studio albums. He is currently in the studio working on his fourth album, with a (at the time this podcast was recorded) soon-to-be-announced release date.

In addition to recording, George Macedo has been actively producing music videos to enhance the visibility of his work and to share the joy he finds in performing with a broader audience.

George spoke with The Artists Index co-founder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier. They discussed his music career, his artistic beginnings, continuing journey, and much more. This episode was recorded at our recording studio at Spectrum Marketing Group at Howland Place in New Bedford.
