The Brazilian guitarist and singer moved from a pioneering band to personal, melodic songwriting.
For a sense of his range, listen to the band energy of O Rappa's early work and the solo ballad 'Nunca Vou Te Abandonar Meu Filho'.
He co-founded O Rappa in 1993, a band that mixed hip-hop, rock, and reggae on albums like 'Lado B Lado A'. After the group disbanded, his solo work includes the ballad 'Nunca Vou Te Abandonar Meu Filho', which became a signature song. Silva has also been vocal about social justice and LGBTQ+ rights, grounding his music in real-world concerns.
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1967, he started with O Rappa in the '90s. After a 2007 car accident inspired the song 'Deus Me Guarda', he went solo and released the album 'Novo Tempo' in 2020.
