Cristóvam Essentials

Artists are often the product of their environment, and that’s certainly true of one of Portugal's most exciting talents: Cristóvam. He hails from the beautiful Azores islands, and the idyllic panoramas he grew up surrounded by are reflected in his emotionally rich, softly textured rock songs. Singing mostly in English to evoke his heroes, from Bob Dylan to Ethan Johns, Cristóvam enjoys global appeal thanks to the universality of songs that frankly discuss love, mental health and introspection. For all the Americana inflection in his music, Cristóvam’s sound is an expression of Azorean elegance.
