Kadu Magalhães

Kadu Magalhães is a singer-songwriter from São Paulo who writes about urban life with a direct, unadorned touch. His song 'Apartamento' got attention for its plain-spoken take on loneliness in the city, and other tracks like 'Há Tempo' and 'Casa Vazia' follow similar lines, sketching out small moments and quiet spaces.

He released his first album, 'Cidade Nua,' and later put out 'Depois do Fim' and 'Sol e Chuva.' The music stays mostly acoustic and low-key, with spare arrangements that leave room for his lyrics. He has worked with musicians like guitarist Felipe Correia and drummer Fabio Sá, especially for live shows.

Kadu sometimes speaks about social issues, which has drawn both support and criticism from listeners. He keeps writing songs that feel personal and close, without much studio polish, and that approach has found an audience in Brazil's indie scene.
