Biography

Jonathan Tadeu is a multifaceted artist originally from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, known for his work in the Brazilian independent scene. His musical journey includes stints in bands like Quase Coadjuvante and collective projects such as the Geração Perdida de Minas Gerais. Tadeu also stands out as a videomaker, creating music videos for the internet underground. His solo career, which began with the album "Casa Vazia" in 2015, explores a minimalist, experimental, and intimate sound, with lyrics that address existential and personal reflections.

Jonathan Tadeu's work is often described as melancholic and honest, with influences ranging from 90s rock to more contemporary sounds. On albums like "Queda Livre" (2016) and "Filho do Meio" (2017), he demonstrates constant evolution, experimenting with synthesizers and expanding his musical boundaries beyond traditional rock. This pursuit of renewal led him to explore new production tools, such as Fruity Loops, paving the way for a more electronic sound in some of his compositions.

Artists like Lupe de Lupe, El Toro Fuerte, and Young Lights are frequently associated with Jonathan Tadeu's musical universe, sharing influences and participating in joint projects.
