A Bahia-born musician whose upbeat songs like 'Campeão' connected across Brazil.
For a quick sense of his sound, try 'Campeão' first, then 'Crente Fiel'. They frame that blend of Brazilian rhythms and straightforward pop faith pretty well.
He came from Vitória da Conquista playing guitar at local gatherings, working with the traditional Brazilian rhythms he grew up hearing. When 'Campeão' became a hit in 1998, its upbeat message brought him wider attention. Songs like 'Crente Fiel' and 'A Unção Chegou' kept that mix of Brazilian styles and accessible pop arrangements going.
He started with local gatherings in Bahia before 'Campeão' broke through nationally in 1998. Albums like 'Sou o Campeão' in 2000 and 'Meu Jeito de Ser' in 2006 followed, and he's worked with artists including Ivete Sangalo and Claudia Leitte on various projects.
