A singer, composer, producer and pastor from north-eastern Brazil, Fernandinho has dominated the contemporary Christian scene since the early ’00s. His baritone vocals boom across widely successful albums such as 2009’s Uma Nova História, recorded live in a Campos church. The artist’s glorious, contemplative stories of faith often build up to volcanic pop and alt-rock eruptions. But he also hovers in a lower register in acoustic moments laced with tender guitar and keys, as well as fervent ballads alongside a new generation of CCM singer-songwriters like Gabriela Rocha.
