A singer-songwriter whose street-corner beginnings led to collaborations with Milton Nascimento and songs that mix devotion with social commentary.
For a sense of his range, listen to the gentle ballad 'Nosso Amor' alongside something like 'Riverbed'. He writes plainly about love and faith, but there's an edge in there too.
He started on street corners in Nova Iguaçu, and his debut album 'Nas Cordas do Meu Violão' connected as a ballad about lost love. Songs like 'Eu Te Amo Meu Deus' show his devotional side, while other lyrics have drawn criticism for their social commentary. He's worked with Brazilian greats like Alcione and Roberta Miranda, bridging local scenes with established names.
He began performing in local bars and on street corners. The early 2000s brought his debut album 'Nas Cordas do Meu Violão', which found an audience with its title track. Later work includes collaborations with Milton Nascimento and songs ranging from the devotional to the socially pointed.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
