Gabriel Romano

Gabriel Romano started making music in São Paulo. In 2017, his song 'O Beijo Dela' got attention across Brazil. The track had a straightforward beat and lyrics about wanting someone, and it became his first real hit.

He put out a debut album called 'Alma Livre' the following year. Another song, 'Essa Noite,' also found an audience. Romano's writing tends to lean into direct emotion, and his voice has a plain, soulful quality that works over simple arrangements.

In 2019, he released a track called 'Vozes da Favela' that addressed social issues. It drew some criticism, but Romano kept writing in his own style. His music doesn't try to smooth over rough edges, which has earned him listeners who appreciate that approach.
