Luan Santana

Part of a new generation of artists reviving the country folk song writing traditions from Brazil's rural communities, sertanejo musician Luan Santana rose from playing rodeos and farming festivals to selling out stadiums and collaborating with Enrique Iglesias. Born in the city of Campo Grande in the Midwestern state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Santana began singing along to his parents' records when he was just three and when his father bought him a guitar, he began writing his own songs and performing at local teenage parties.

His reputation grew online when friends started posting videos of him singing on YouTube, then going on to play his first headline shows in 2007 before releasing debut 'To de Cara' in 2009 when he was still just 18. The album went on to sell over 50,000 copies and produce the hit singles 'To de Cara' and 'Meteoro', and Santana quickly found himself as one of the faces of the crossover sertanejo universitario scene.

His popular studio album 'Quando Chega a Noite' helped him win the title of Best Male Singer at the Premio Multishow Awards in 2013, but it was on stage that Santana really flourished and his theatrical, showstopping live albums and DVDs 'Ao Vivo no Rio' and 'O Nosso Tempo E Hoje' were huge successes. He also duetted with singer Ivete Sangalo on the single 'Quimica do Amor' and honed his heartfelt, sentimental, pop sound with hits such as 'Tudo Que Voce Quiser', Te Esperando' and 'Te Vivo', before featuring on Spanish superstar Enrique Iglesias' Latin pop gem 'Bailando' in 2014. He stripped back his style for the more romantic, crooning 'Acustico' in 2015, however was nominated for his first Grammy Award for album '1977' in 2017, and later teamed up with boyband CNCO on a remix of their single 'Mamita'.
