A São Paulo singer whose direct songs about love and longing found a national audience.
For a sense of his style, 'Pra Sempre' and 'Cala a Boca e Me Beija' frame it well. They're just straightforward songs that found an audience.
His 2005 ballad 'Pra Sempre' broke through nationally with its plainspoken take on lasting affection. Songs like 'Cala a Boca e Me Beija' and 'Uai, Sô' show the range he settled into, working across pop and MPB without much fuss. He plays with a band that's included Daniel Barbosa on guitar and Vinícius Sousa on bass.
He came up in São Paulo, where his father, a guitarist, gave him an early feel for Brazilian music. After 'Pra Sempre' in 2005, he kept putting out albums like 'Ao Vivo em São Paulo' in 2007 and 'Só Quero Te Amar' in 2010. There was some noise around plagiarism claims in 2009, but it didn't slow him down much.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
