Leo Saud

Leo Saud came up in Serra Negra, a small town in São Paulo state. His self-titled debut album arrived in 2011, and the song 'Longa Vivência' from it got some attention. He works mostly as a solo singer-songwriter, with a sound that leans on acoustic guitar and draws from Brazilian folk and MPB traditions.

He's put out a steady run of albums since then, including 'Longa Vivência' in 2013, 'O Vento' in 2015, and 'Sobre Viver' in 2017. Other tracks like 'Cidade de Ilusão' and 'Desassossego' have also become part of his set. His writing tends to circle around personal reflection and broader social themes.

There was some noise around a plagiarism claim in 2013, but it didn't stick. He's been vocal about social and political issues, which has drawn both support and criticism from listeners. He's worked with people like producer Eduardo Sanches and guitarist Rodrigo Simão at times, but the focus remains on his own material.
