Leonardo Alcântara is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from Rio de Janeiro. He grew up hearing samba and bossa nova, and started writing his own songs early on. His debut album 'Raízes' came out in 2012, and its lead single 'Me Faz Vencer' became a popular anthem.
In 2015, Alcântara faced allegations about tax issues that led to a temporary pause in his music work. He apologized and worked with authorities on the matter. After that, he released albums like 'Viver Para Vencer' in 2015 and 'Resiliência' in 2021.
His song 'Morada' is another track people know. He writes about love and loss, and his voice has a straightforward quality that connects with listeners.
