Francisco Faria (Damn Cisco), founder of Onoko™, strives to translate universal concepts into tangible emotions. Musically he serves songs first, working as a songwriter, producer, mixing and mastering engineer. Since 2020 he also teaches Songwriting at the School of Innovation and Creation Technologies (ETIC) in Lisbon. Never really much into performing or that 'artist lifestyle', he writes and produces mainly with and for other like-minded people, as he falls in lust with their vocals and marvelous talents. Onoko's project 'Vendela' is the latest and highest iteration of that.
