Igor Silveira

Igor Silveira came up in Itaquaquecetuba, Brazil, where he grew up around samba, bossa nova, and sertanejo. He first got wider attention in 2012 with a song called "Canção de Um Natal Aí." Some of his other tracks include "Lembra Como É Bom" and "Somos Velhos."

His music often deals with faith and spirituality, which has sometimes put him at odds with more conservative listeners. In 2018, a festival performance drew protests from groups who objected to his lyrics. He kept writing and releasing albums like "Novo Tempo" and "Deus É Contigo."

Silveira's work doesn't fit neatly into one category, it's not strictly gospel or pop, but something that draws from the Brazilian sounds he heard growing up. He's put out records steadily over the last decade, including "O Céu É o Nosso Lar" in 2020.
