Biography

Zé Neto & Cristiano is a renowned Brazilian sertanejo duo formed in 2011 in the city of São José do Rio Preto, in the interior of São Paulo. Composed of musicians Zé Neto and Cristiano Vaccari, the partnership quickly rose in the national music scene upon signing with the WorkShow management office and releasing projects of great commercial impact, such as the DVD recorded in their hometown in 2015.

National consecration came in 2018 with the release of the project Acústico and the smashing success of the track "Largado às Traças", which dominated charts across the country and earned the duo recognition at awards such as Troféu Imprensa and Melhores do Ano. Since then, the artists have maintained a routine of expressive releases, including albums and DVDs like Esquece o Mundo Lá Fora, Escolhas, and Intenso, solidifying themselves alongside major names in the genre like Marília Mendonça and Henrique & Juliano.

Throughout their career, the duo has accumulated Latin Grammy nominations and won over audiences with a repertoire marked by both romantic sofrência and upbeat hits. With a strong presence on stage and on digital platforms, Zé Neto & Cristiano continue to shape the sound of contemporary Brazilian sertanejo universitário.
