Jão

Jão (born João Vitor Romania Balbino) is a Brazilian pop sensation known for his soul-baring lyrics, velvety vocals, and genre-blending sound. Hailing from São Paulo, this singer-songwriter first grabbed attention by uploading heartfelt covers to YouTube before skyrocketing to fame with his 2018 debut album *LOBOS*. Since then, he’s become a defining voice in Brazil’s modern pop scene, serving raw emotion through albums like *ANTI-HERÓI* (2019) and *PIRATA* (2021). Tracks like the vulnerable “Morrendo Por Você,” introspective “Algumas Linhas,” and stripped-back “Batom Vermelho (Acústico)” showcase his knack for mixing catchy hooks with diary-like confessions about love, identity, and growing pains.

Jão’s music feels like late-night conversations with a close friend—whether he’s crooning about fleeting romance in “Vem Cá” or unpacking life’s ups and downs in “Idas e Vindas.” Beyond the studio, he’s celebrated for his bold artistry and advocacy as an openly gay artist, using his platform to champion LGBTQ+ visibility. With every release, Jão keeps proving why he’s Brazil’s pop underdog-turned-superstar.
