Aeroworld.com.br was an Aerosmith fansite created and maintained by me from 2004 to 2014.

Want to see it live?

In 2004, before the social media era, I wanted to create the biggest Aerosmith portal for Brazilian fans, where they could get information about the band in their own language and interact with other fans.

Four years later, Aeroworld.com.br was already considered the biggest Aerosmith fansite in the world.

In April 2007, after an absence of 13 years, Aerosmith announced their return to Brazil for a series of shows. I collected messages from Brazilian fans through the site and organized them into a book, which I presented to the band as a gift.

Two months later, Aerosmith’s record label sponsored a special promotion for the site’s 3rd anniversary. From that moment on, Aeroworld.com.br was officially supported by Sony Music Brasil.

In 2008, the site was nominated for Prêmio iBest – the biggest internet award in Brazil. I created a huge campaign to encourage fans to vote for it and promote the band in the country. I contacted Aerosmith and received their official support too. Ultimately, Aeroworld.com.br received the bronze award.

In 2010, 2011, and 2013, I was issued special press credentials for Aerosmith’s shows in Brazil, with access to VIP areas and press rooms. I’d update the site during concerts with general information and setlists. For one of their shows in 2011, Joey Kramer (Aerosmith’s drummer) contacted the site on Twitter to ask what Brazilian fans would like to hear.

Also, in 2011, I was interviewed by a newspaper, A Tribuna de Santos. They published an article about the site.

At its start, this project had a lot of personal meaning to me and was my biggest focus. It gave me the aspiration to learn many new things, like English, programming, and graphic and web design. It drove me to constantly improve myself and my site, with new skills on the one hand and new features and layouts on the other.

Ultimately, this project led me to my career in graphic design, and those self-taught skills are still the foundation of my current abilities. In the end, my passion for music and for Aerosmith especially helped bring me to where I am today.
