A Portuguese Christian musician who blended gospel with fado traditions.
For a sense of his sound, try 'Aleluia Dou ao Rei' or 'Deus Grandioso.' They give you the blend he was going for.
His 1994 worship song 'Aleluia Dou ao Rei' became widely known in Christian circles, though some critics questioned his approach to blending styles. Songs like 'Deus Grandioso' and 'Melhor Amigo' show how he drew from both gospel and Portuguese fado, with influences from Paul McCartney and Jorge Ferreira.
He wrote 'Aleluia Dou ao Rei' in 1994, then released albums like 'Um Novo Começo' in 1996 and 'Fé na Cruz' in 2010. He worked with musicians including keyboardist Pedro Silva and vocalist Andreia Candeias.
