Samuel Gonçalves writes songs that feel like they come from somewhere raw and immediate. His track 'Quero morrer pra mim mesmo' has become something of an anthem, its title alone suggesting the kind of personal reckoning that runs through his work. He started in São Paulo's underground punk scene, where his direct approach found an audience.
In 2018, he released the album 'Escuridão,' which was noted for its unflinching look at difficult subjects. The record built on earlier releases like the 2009 EP 'Diário de Um Desespero' and the 2016 EP 'Sobrevivente.' Other songs in his catalog, such as 'Sou o teu pai.' and 'Brado de vitória,' continue in this vein of stark, personal lyricism.
He works primarily as a solo artist, though he's been known to perform with different musicians. His music doesn't offer easy resolutions, but it connects with listeners who recognize its particular kind of honesty.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
