Chico Pinheiro is one of the most prominent musicians on today’s Brazilian scene. A virtuoso guitarist, refined composer, and uniquely sensitive singer, he has built a solid and coherent career that transcends both aesthetic and geographical boundaries, establishing himself as a leading figure in contemporary Brazilian popular music.

Born in São Paulo, Pinheiro became known for his elegant style, harmonic mastery, and ability to integrate jazz language with Brazilian traditions—such as bossa nova, samba, baião, and choro—without losing authenticity or freshness. He has collaborated with artists like Dianne Reeves, Hermeto Pascoal, Edu Lobo, Rosa Passos, Brad Mehldau, Esperanza Spalding, and Bob Mintzer, among many others.

His discography, which includes albums like Nova, There’s a Storm Inside, Meia Noite Meio Dia, and CITY OF DREAMS, has been acclaimed by international critics for its compositional richness, interpretive virtuosity, and a contemporary aesthetic that blends technical sophistication with sincere emotion.
