A Rio songwriter whose 2012 single "Tão Blue" became a national heartbreak song.
If you're new to his stuff, start with "Tão Blue" for the heartbreak mood and "No Tambor de Crioula" for the rhythmic side. They frame what he does pretty well.
He writes songs that feel lived-in, like "Tão Blue" did for a lot of people in Brazil. That track's melancholy mood opened the door, and later songs like "No Tambor de Crioula" and "Flores Azuis" show he can move between introspective and brighter sounds without losing the thread. He's also recorded with Gilberto Gil and Marisa Monte, which says something about the company he keeps.
He came up in Rio de Janeiro writing songs that drew from bossa nova and samba. After "Tão Blue" caught on in 2012, he put out albums like "Do Céu ao Mar" in 2015 and "Sol" in 2018, which shifted between different moods. He plays with a regular band that includes Pedro Sá on bass and Bruno Wanderley on keyboards.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
