Rooted in Soul, Drenched in Saudade
I am an artist shaped by memory, migration and the soul of Brazil. For decades I’ve created music as resistance, as healing, as a way to exist fully across borders - cultural, emotional, and geographic.
My work blends genres, languages, and traditions into something rooted yet expansive. Each performance, song, and story is an offering - a bridge between worlds.
