This is the most ambitious project of my life.

Today, Antonio Carlos Jobim’s anniversary and National Bossa Nova Day, feels like the perfect moment to share something deeply personal: my new piano album, Eu Lírico, will be released in 2025 - nine years after my first album, Upside Down.

Over nearly a decade, life has unfolded in unexpected ways, bringing countless experiences, emotions, and reflections. The abundance of music that blossomed during these years has led to this being Volume 1 of what’s to come. Eu Lírico Vol. 1 distills these experiences into ten pieces, each refined through careful revisions and many many late nights.

It’s been both a challenge and a joy to transform simple musical ideas into something meaningful. I’ve always believed that “less is more,” and this pop piano album, with its simple harmonies and focus on melody (my Eu Lírico), embodies that philosophy.

Why announcing it on National Bossa Nova Day? Because Eu Lírico carries Brazil within it - but in a subtle way. Beneath the surface, you’ll find Brazilian rhythms, citations, and nods that pay homage to my influences. Yet, at its core, it presents differently, inviting listeners to discover these elements.

I look forward to sharing more as the release date approaches.
