Rafael Witt - Biography
Between the lines that shape today’s pop music, resides Rafael Witt’s ideas, inspirations, and creativity. Brazilian multi-instrumentalist, born and raised in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, the most southern state of the country. Music has been a part of Rafael’s life since a kid, but became a real motive and activity during his teenage years. Now, years of compositions finally find their way from his heart and life to the public.
Rafael’s sound scrambles the influences of international artists like John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes and Jack Johnson to Mumford & Sons, Arctic Monkeys and KALEO, creating a folk-rock, pop, R&B and country atmosphere. All of that combined with the Brazilian way, from Legião Urbana, Seu Jorge to Tiago Iorc and Gustavo Bertoni, along with the inspiration gathered throughout his experiences abroad, from Germany’s artists Cro and AnnenMayKantereit to the french Bigflo & Oli and Vianney. Developing a multi-cultural experience, the protagonism in his songs is shared between a voice that mixes harsh and tender and guitar chords and progressions that constantly redefine what could be called woody and cozy at the same time.
It is stylish, but it is comfortable. Accessible, yet adventurous. For all purposes, something that always seems to hit the ears the right way. And for that reason, a sound that keeps the listener on the constant desire for more of that.
