Biography

Felipe Pezzoni is a Brazilian singer born in Salvador, Bahia, on September 9, 1984. His musical career began in 2003, when he took over as lead singer of the band Melaço de Cana. The following year, he moved to the band Colher de Pau, where he honed his vocal and performance skills.

Between 2006 and 2010, Pezzoni was the lead singer of Capitão Axé, a period during which he had the opportunity to perform at major events throughout Brazil, consolidating his presence in the axé music scene. In 2010, he formed the band Mil Verões, an original project that gained prominence in Salvador. His trajectory led him to become one of the longest-serving lead singers in the history of Banda Eva, taking over the vocals in February 2013, following an invitation from Saulo Fernandes.

At the helm of Banda Eva, Felipe Pezzoni released four albums and performed over 1,500 shows across 20 Brazilian states and 16 countries, becoming an important figure in the renewal of Bahian axé. In 2027, after Carnival, the artist will begin a new phase in his career, pursuing a solo project while maintaining his partnership with Grupo Eva, which will continue to manage his musical career. His decision follows in the footsteps of other big names who passed through Banda Eva and went on to successful solo careers, such as Ivete Sangalo and Saulo Fernandes.
