IOLANDA

Iolanda is a rising Portuguese singer-songwriter who blends soulful vocals with contemporary R&B and pop sensibilities. Bursting onto the international stage after winning Portugal's Festival da Canção in 2024 with her powerful anthem "Grito," she represented Portugal at Eurovision that same year, channeling raw emotion and social commentary into her performance. Her music often explores themes of identity, resilience, and self-empowerment, with tracks like "Contratempo" and "Laurinda" showcasing her knack for moody, atmospheric production paired with introspective lyrics.

Born in Figueira da Foz, Iolanda’s artistry reflects a deep connection to her roots while embracing modern global sounds. Recent releases like "OLHAR P’RA BAIXO" and "Cura" highlight her versatility, weaving between haunting minimalism and bold, genre-blurring arrangements. Whether she’s delivering hushed vulnerability or fiery declarations, Iolanda’s voice carries a magnetic authenticity that’s quickly made her one of Portugal’s most compelling new voices.
