Biography

Jefte Santos is a Brazilian singer and songwriter, born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. His musical career began in 2011 with the release of his first EP "Sobre as Águas", which marked a significant change in his life. He began getting involved with music at an early age, at 10 as a drummer, and by 14 he was already part of his church band. His artistic trajectory gained national prominence with the hit "Como será o amanhã", which reached the top of the charts on several radio stations across the country and was included on the CD "Ele Continua Sendo Deus", released in 2017.

With a musical style that moves through pop, soul, groove, and black music, Jefte Santos draws inspiration for his lyrics from his experience of Christian faith and real events from his daily life. He cites influences such as Eli Soares, Ed Motta, Kirk Franklin, Thalles Roberto, and Anthony Evans. His music, although aimed at the gospel audience, has the ability to reach people of different beliefs, as he himself relates about his song "Como será o amanhã" being played at Freemasonry meetings.

In addition to being a singer and songwriter, Jefte Santos has also performed at events such as Estúdio Showlivre Gospel in 2018 and participated in festivals. He is known for his original compositions, which seek to convey messages of hope and faith. His discography includes albums like "Ele Continua Sendo Deus" and singles like "Estrela da Esperança" and "Deus É Bom".
