A Brazilian artist whose songs like "Laranja" and "Nó" move between pop, rock, and MPB.
For a quick sense of his range, try "Laranja" for the hit samba-pop energy, then "Sunday Morning" for something quieter and more reflective.
He came up writing songs as a teenager in Salvador, Bahia, pulling from the rhythms of samba and axé that define the region. The hit "Laranja," made with producer Rick Bonadio, put him on the map in Brazil. Tracks like "Nó" and "Sunday Morning" show how he stretches those roots into pop and rock territory without losing the local feel.
He started putting out albums in the late 2000s with "Estado de Poesia" in 2008 and "Luz" in 2011. Along the way he's worked with big names like Ivete Sangalo and Maria Bethânia, and faced some public challenges that have been part of his story.
