Bio

Rogério Godinho is a multifaceted artist - a pianist, singer and composer, who studied at the University of Évora, at the Lemmensinstituut (Belgium) and at the Hot Club of Portugal. Other manifestations of his artitist universe as a creator are photography, filming and poetry.

​

In his work and shows, he always seeks to create a strong connection between the message and the music, serving a concept and an aesthetic that he defines. 

​

His new album "We Change", which will be pre-released on December 9th, 2022, with the single "Reset", arose from the need he felt to have his message understood beyond the Portuguese language, breaking boundaries in an art where they should not exist. This album is the proof that there shouldn't be limits to creation either, given that each person has many "other personalities" and facets within themselves, and should manifest them when it feels right.

​

In 2015, he released his first album - “ETERNO REGRESSO” (Eternal Return), with original music composed by himself using a distinct underlying narrative merging some of his influences: Fado, Jazz and Brazilian Popular Music (MPB), with other classical elements. It was mostly an intimate concept, where words, image and music were inseparable.

​

In 2017, he edited a song he composed in honor of Bernardo Sassetti, an artist he greatly admired, which he called “Para Sassetti” (For Sassetti).

​

More recently, he edited his composition “Évora, Cidade do Mundo”, which was part of a documentary directed by Jorge de Sá, dedicated to the distinction of Évora as a World Heritage City, by UNESCO.

​

From the edition of his first album, “Eterno Regresso”, he had the opportunity to have his work presented in Antena 1, RTP (national portuguese TV), Rádio Amália, Rádio Nacional Española and Rádio Clásica, both belonging to rTVE, in Spain.
