In 2000, he released his debut recording "Destiny of Flowers" in CD form, a live recording of his graduation recital at Manhattan School of Music.[11] He subsequently released his first full-length album, Mr Vivo, in 2002 under the stage name "Mr. Vivo."

Artistry
Pedro Giraudo's musical style incorporates elements evocative of early jazz improvisation and follows the tradition of highlighting the individuality of each band member, in the tradition of Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus. It’s reflective of Pedro's background in jazz. He brings this tradition into a blend of traditional tango with Argentine folk, while incorporating other South American grooves.[12]
