Biography

Manuel Alexandre Oliveira da Silva, known artistically as Xanddy Harmonia, was born in Salvador, Bahia, on June 12, 1979. His musical journey began in the 1990s when he became the lead singer of the group Harmonia do Samba, one of the pioneers of pagode baiano. With the group, Xanddy achieved great national success, charting hits such as "Vem Neném", "Agachadinho" and "O Rodo", and stood out for his charisma, swingueira and choreography.

In 2001, he married dancer and singer Carla Perez, with whom he has two children. Alongside his musical career, Xanddy also developed his entrepreneurial side, creating the label "Muralha Records" and, later, the company "HS Produções", which manages his projects and tours.

In September 2022, after 24 years at the helm of Harmonia do Samba, Xanddy announced his departure from the group to pursue a solo career, adopting the artistic name Xanddy Harmonia. His first solo album, "Nascendo de Novo", was released in 2023, featuring collaborations with artists such as Léo Santana, João Gomes, Péricles and Dilsinho. The artist also has a project dedicated to samba de roda, "Xanddy Harmonia em Samba de Roda", in tribute to the rhythm that has inspired him since childhood.
