A Brazilian artist who taught himself guitar and built a catalog of gentle, personal songs.
For a sense of his sound, start with "Esse Seu Jeito de Olhar" and the later track "Call Me." They frame his gentle, melodic approach pretty well.
He came up in a coastal Rio town, pulling from samba and bossa nova to write his own material. The lead single "Esse Seu Jeito de Olhar" became his signature song, and later tracks like "Call Me" and "De Repente" show his quiet, melodic touch. He's worked with names like Chico César and Maria Rita, and his band includes Renan Oliveira on guitar.
He recorded his debut album in 2004 after meeting producer Renato Russo. Since then he's put out records like "Meu Jeito de Ser" in 2006 and "Essência" in 2012, with songs ranging from "Como Foi Seu Dia" to "Caliandra." In 2017 there were plagiarism claims around "Meu Amor" that were later dismissed.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
