Biography

Carlos Alberto Posada, known artistically as Posada, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter born in Sweden on October 21, 1981. His childhood was marked by moving with his family to Brazil, where he was raised in Recife, Pernambuco, before settling in Rio de Janeiro in 2001. This multicultural background is reflected in his work, which moves through various musical styles and addresses themes such as love, everyday life, and social issues with an intimate poetry.

Posada began his musical career by standing out in the independent scene, forming the band "Posada e o Clã", with which he released his self-titled debut album in 2013. The group, composed of Bruno Giorgi, Gabriel Ventura, Hugo Noguchi, and Gabriel Barbosa, collaborated on arrangements and performances, including guest appearances by artists such as Lenine. Throughout his career, Posada has also released solo albums, such as "Izabel" (2017) and "Vamossive" (2025), consolidating his presence in Brazilian music.

Posada's compositions have been recorded by several renowned artists, such as Duda Brack, Aíla, Júlia Vargas, Ana Cañas, and César Lacerda, which attests to the quality and reach of his writing. His music is recognized for blending influences ranging from samba and bossa nova to reggae and rock, always with a strong authorial identity and an ability to create engaging and poetic narratives. Posada is considered a relevant name in the new generation of MPB songwriters.
