Biography

Jefferson Moraes Sampaio, born in Londrina on February 8, 1993, is a prominent Brazilian singer-songwriter in the sertanejo music scene. Since childhood, encouraged by his family after receiving an acoustic guitar at age seven, he demonstrated great self-taught talent, learning to play various instruments such as piano, drums, electric guitar, and bass to assist in his songwriting. His musical journey began independently, performing in bars in his hometown before gaining national projection by winning the "Iluminados" segment on the show Domingão do Faustão in 2015.

With his television success, the artist signed a contract with Audiomix and began receiving sponsorship from renowned exponents of the genre, such as the duo Jorge & Mateus. In November 2016, he recorded his first DVD, titled Start In São Paulo, released in late 2017 and marked by major collaborations with established names like Gusttavo Lima, Matheus & Kauan, and Israel Novaes. Hits like "Um Centímetro" further solidified his name in the national recording market.

In the following years, Jefferson continued to expand his discography with the releases of successful EPs and singles, such as "Perda Total" and "Oi Nego", the latter in partnership with singer Maraisa. Consistently established as one of the big names of the new sertanejo generation, he easily transitions between romanticism and arrocha, maintaining a strong connection with the sertanejo audience that consecrates artists like Marília Mendonça and Henrique & Juliano.
