Biography

Joao Marcello Boscoli is a prominent Brazilian music producer and businessman, born in Rio de Janeiro on June 17, 1970. He is the son of the legendary singer Elis Regina and composer Ronaldo Bôscoli, as well as the half-brother of singers Maria Rita and Pedro Mariano. Immersed in music from a young age, he began his recording career at age eleven, playing drums and singing on the album Comissão de Frente.

Throughout his extensive career, Boscoli has worked alongside numerous musical icons such as Milton Nascimento, Paulinho da Viola, Lenine, Ivan Lins, Jorge Ben Jor, and Elza Soares. In 1995, he released his debut album as a producer, João Marcello Bôscoli & Cia, helping launch artists like Simoninha and Max de Castro. Two years later, in 1997, he founded his own independent record label, Trama, which became a significant platform for contemporary Brazilian music.

In addition to his production work, Boscoli has expanded his media presence into radio, television, and literature. He hosts the daily radio program "Sala de Música" on CBN and has served as a judge on the reality television show The Four Brasil. In 2019, he published a biographical book about his mother titled "Elis e Eu – 11 Anos, 6 Meses e 19 Dias com a Minha Mãe," further cementing his legacy as a guardian of Brazilian musical heritage.
