A São Paulo singer whose 1995 debut 'Quero Conhecer Jesus' became a staple in Brazilian gospel circles.
For a sense of his early appeal, 'Quero Conhecer Jesus' is the obvious place. 'Em Teu Amor' holds up just as well, though, it's a gentler, less complicated listen.
His music has stayed in rotation for decades without much fuss. Songs like 'Quero Conhecer Jesus' and 'Em Teu Amor' became quietly familiar to a whole generation of listeners. That 1995 album still feels like a reference point for a certain kind of Brazilian gospel.
He started singing in a church choir in São Paulo and began writing his own material in his twenties. The 1995 debut album defined his sound, though a 2003 controversy over the title track's originality created a brief, awkward moment in an otherwise steady path.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
