Biography

Daniel Chaudon is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and acoustic guitarist whose musical journey began in his hometown of Brasília, encouraged by his father, musician Ricardo Nunes. Early on, he performed both at home and on the streets of the capital before relocating to Florianópolis, where he refined his craft performing in local bars and music venues. His career gained wider visibility in 2004 when he was selected as a contestant on the Rede Globo reality television show Fama. Following his television appearance, he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he developed independent shows such as Paisagem and a self-titled concert series, eventually releasing his debut solo album, Me Conta Uma Música, in 2012.

As his presence in the Rio de Janeiro music scene grew, Chaudon collaborated with various artists across the contemporary MPB landscape. In 2009, he joined Swiss-born singer Taïs Reganelli on her album Antes que a Canção Acabe, lending his voice to the track "Dueto de encontro." He also participated in the collective project Sarau - Novos Talentos da MPB and later contributed to Maria Gadú's 2013 album Nós, performing alongside her on the song "Luzia." In 2014, he expanded his artistic range by co-founding the trio Não Recomendados alongside singer-songwriters Diego Moraes and Caio Prado, a project that took him to stages across multiple Brazilian cities, including major festival performances at the São Paulo Virada Cultural.

Chaudon's work reflects the diversity of modern Brazilian popular music, blending acoustic sensibilities with collaborative spirit. Throughout his career, he has shared stages and studios with notable contemporaries like Luís Kiari and Nuria Mallena, consistently championing original composition within the independent circuit. His trajectory from street performer to television participant and ensemble collaborator highlights his enduring dedication to the craft of songwriting and live performance within Brazil's vibrant musical ecosystem.
