CAIO

CAIO (sometimes stylized as CAIOo) is a rising Brazilian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist carving his space in contemporary MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) with a laidback, genre-blending vibe. Known for mixing samba grooves, breezy pop melodies, and confessional lyrics about love, nostalgia, and everyday struggles, his tracks like "Ritmo da Procura" and "Queda Livre" have become streaming favorites in Brazil. His 2023 single "Faltamos às Eleições" showcased his knack for weaving social commentary into catchy rhythms, while introspective cuts like "Madrugada" reveal a more vulnerable side.

With a DIY ethos and grassroots fanbase, CAIO often self-produces tracks that feel both raw and relatable, channeling the energy of São Paulo's streets into his music. His recent work, including the 2024 release "Retratos," leans into nostalgic pagode influences while maintaining his signature modern edge. Though he keeps his personal life private, his lyrics and Instagram snippets suggest a 20-something artist deeply connected to youth culture and urban Brazilian life.
