Céu

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Céu fuses Brazilian traditions with contemporary R&B and electronic music. Her delivery style weds iconic Brazilian phrasing and nuance with her airy, slightly smoky alto; it is backed by a highly original mix that seamlessly juxtaposes post-Tropicalia samba, valsa, choro, soul, reggae, hip-hop, and jazz. She proved to be one of the more internationally appealing singers to break out of Brazil around the time of her self-titled 2005 debut, ultimately receiving both Latin Grammy and Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and garnering interest across the globe. Beginning with 2012's Caravana Sereia Bloom, electronica was subtly added and took an increasingly dominant role in her performances and singles. 2016's globally celebrated Tropix combined all of the above with electro and jazz, cementing her reputation as an innovator. After moving in a more acoustic direction, Céu explored a vintage soul sound with 2025's Novela.
