Mister RickRoss is the artist name of Ricardo Rossati, a Brazilian bass player and composer who has been playing since 1997. He went through the MP3 era, the CD era, and into the Spotify era.
He graduated from EM&T, studying with Nilton Wood, took lessons with Max Robert, who played with Fat Family, and with Celso Pixinga, and also holds a degree in Advertising from Anhembi Morumbi. He worked at the importer Habro Music and at HMP Editora, the publisher of the magazines Cover Baixo, Cover Guitarra, Toque de Mestre and Home Studio, where he edited the Guia do Músico. He created ads for Line 6 and Ampeg, designed the logos for an entire guitar line from Shelter and organized clinics with names such as Aquiles Priester and bassist Seth Horan.
There were many nights on stage in São Paulo. With Chili Cats he released the video "Não Custa Tentar" on MTV and played alongside his friend Kiko Miller, then the singer of Golpe de Estado. He played in Disco Memory, a 70s and 80s band, and in Velho 8, a grunge band. He shared the stage with Aquiles Priester, Dudu Portes, Norival D'Angelo, Kid Vinil, Bruno Gouveia and Marcelo Hayena, and played at Expo Music.
He spent two years on tour with Fernando Deluqui of RPM, recorded with him on CDs, on tracks such as "Nosso Mar", and played with him on TV, on Multishow and on Audi Arena, on the Bis channel. He created Dark Naja, his biggest original project, made only of his own songs, where "Depois da Noite" was born. He taught and coordinated bass at EMMP Music for five years, taught bass at School of Rock in Alphaville and founded Masterbox Studio in Indaiatuba, which closed after the pandemic.
In July 2023, when almost nobody believed it was possible, he released "Mentes em Fúria", the first Brazilian music video made with artificial intelligence. That is where Neural Chaos began, an ecosystem where music, video and code are made together: the Neural Council of nine AI mentors, who live in the SANCTUM; music videos such as "Combinação Fatal" and "Depois da Noite", with the whole process published; the documentary "The Music Industry Has a New Problem"; the audio plugins SUBSTANCE and ROSS VU; the BandMate app, made for bands; and The Neural Times, a daily video newspaper.
Now is the time of his solo project. One position runs through all of it: AI in the open, as a partner for the person who creates, not as a mask for someone who never shows up.
"The Music Industry Has a New Problem" tells the story of "Depois da Noite", written around 2013 and finished in 2026 with artificial intelligence as a partner, and asks: who answers for the work?
São Paulo, October 6, 2026. Brazilian bass player and composer Mister RickRoss, the artist name of Ricardo Rossati, has released the documentary "The Music Industry Has a New Problem" on YouTube. The 7:55 film is narrated by N.I.N.A., the voice of the Neural Council, in Brazilian Portuguese with Portuguese subtitles.
It starts with "Depois da Noite" ("After the Night"), a song he wrote around 2013 for his band Dark Naja. The voice that was going to sing it left, and the song stayed unfinished for thirteen years. In 2026, Mister RickRoss went back to it with artificial intelligence as a partner and finished what had been left open, with a music video built from a 66-scene Visual Bible.
The documentary uses that story to face a question the industry has not answered yet. In July 2026, Deezer reported receiving almost 90,000 fully AI-generated tracks a day. For Mister RickRoss, the question is no longer whether the machine can create, but who answers for the work.
"This film is not about the machine. It is about who answers for the work," he says.
In July 2023, Mister RickRoss released "Mentes em Fúria", the first Brazilian music video made with artificial intelligence. Today he runs Neural Chaos, an ecosystem of music videos, the audio plugins SUBSTANCE and ROSS VU, the BandMate app, the daily video newspaper The Neural Times and the Neural Council: nine AI mentors with a name, a role and a home, the SANCTUM.
