Born on the outskirts of Salvador, Giovani Cidreira is a black singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist, who has launched his flame in music since 2006, debuting his solo work in 2014 with the EP “Giovani Cidreira”.
He won the prize for best song with lyrics at XII Festival da Educadora FM and best performer at Prêmio Caymmi in 2017. The same year he released his first studio album, "Japanese Food", on Balaclava Records (sponsored by Natura Musical) , which circulated in the main festivals and cultural programs in Brazil between 2017 and 2018.
The work gave the artist national recognition, with emphasis on the album and live performance, ratified through criticism and articles in vehicles such as Estadão, Rolling Stone, Scream & Yell, among others. In 2019 Giovani released "Mix$take", an album produced by Benke Ferraz (Boogarins) and released by the RISCO label, inaugurating a new visual and scenic concept, presented in shows throughout Brazil and Europe, also represented by a new codename: GIO.
In 2020, he released two albums, the album “Estreite”, on the Joia Moderna label (sponsored by Oi), the result of a partnership with singer, songwriter and guitarist Josyara, and the EP “MANO*MAGO”, a meeting with producer and multi-artist Mahal Pita. Recently, in July 2021, he released his last and most anticipated work, "Nebulosa Baby", which features different productions (awarded by the Aldir Blanc Cultural Emergency Law), including his first visual album, a historical fiction that mixes elements of reality of GIO, as places and characters of its trajectory, in a fictional cinematographic narrative.
It also delivered to the public the 'Nebulosa Websérie', a 5-episode documentary series, directed by Safira Moreira, which portrays some tracks from the album through the artist's biographical bias, with emphasis on his ancestry and peripheral origin. The album, the central axis of this new phase, also produced by Benke Ferraz and released by the RISCO label, features several special appearances by relevant names in the contemporary Brazilian music scene, such as: Alice Caymmi, Jup do Bairro, Ava Rocha, Luiza Lian, Vandal, Boogarins, Josyara, Luê, Jadsa, and also enshrines the artist's polymorphic characteristic by uniting a traditional Brazilian organic musicality, presented by his first album, to the new and fruitful electronic experimentations of pop music, already outlined by his latest works.
Nebula Baby debuts with originality and innovation through this Afrofuturist audiovisual experience, enhancing GIO's musical production, which is now well accompanied by a consistent visual concept, and promises more developments based on this sum of resources.
