Humberto Gessinger is a pivotal figure in Brazilian rock music, known for his role as the singer, bassist, and keyboardist of the influential band Engenheiros do Hawaii. Born on December 24, 1963, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Gessinger founded the band in 1984 while studying architecture at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. With Engenheiros do Hawaii, he achieved fame in the 1980s and 1990s, known for their intellectual lyrics loaded with social and poetic commentary.

After the band went on hiatus in the late 2000s, Gessinger continued his musical journey as a solo artist, showcasing his versatility and poetic prowess. His solo discography consists of thought-provoking lyrics and exploration of various genres, blending rock, folk, and regional Brazilian rhythms. Many of his most recent releases, such as "Quatro Cantos de Um Mundo Redondo" and "Milongueando Uns Troços," exemplify his ability to convey profound messages through music while maintaining a unique sound. Gessinger's artistry is not bound to the legacy of Engenheiros do Hawaii but continues to evolve, as seen in his various collaborations and remixed tracks like "Um Dia de Cada Vez (Blancah Remix)" and "Estranho Fetiche / Fetiche Estranho (Carlos Trilha Remix)," demonstrating his willingness to experiment with new sounds and production techniques in the contemporary music landscape.
