Céu

Céu is the stage name of Maria do Céu Whitaker Poças, a genre-blending Brazilian singer-songwriter who’s been enchanting listeners since her 2005 self-titled debut. Born and raised in São Paulo, she mixes MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) with electronic textures, soul, samba, and even dashes of R&B, creating a sound that’s both rooted and refreshingly modern. Her breakout album earned her a Grammy nomination, and she’s kept the momentum going with smoky vocals and collaborations that push boundaries—like reimagining classics or teaming up with artists such as Tropkillaz.

Recent tracks like “Novela,” “Chega Mais,” and her slinky take on “Baby One More Time” showcase her knack for balancing laid-back grooves with sly innovation. Whether she’s channeling retro nostalgia or futuristic beats, Céu’s music feels like a late-night hang with your coolest friend—smooth, stylish, and full of surprises.
