Biography
[edit]Jeneci was born in the Guaianases district of São Paulo on April 7, 1982. He had his first music lessons with his father, who worked as a repairman for musical instruments, and began his career in 2000 as an accordionist for singer Chico César's live band. He was also a backing musician for Arnaldo Antunes and Erasmo Carlos. His first success as a composer came in 2008 with "Amado", a collaboration with Vanessa da Mata which was included in the soundtrack of Rede Globo's telenovela A Favorita.[2]
He co-wrote songs alongside Arnaldo Antunes, Zé Miguel Wisnik and Luiz Tatit,[3] and was also a collaborator for British duo Da Lata. His debut album, Feito pra Acabar, came out in 2010 and had a positive reception.[4] His songs continued to be featured in Rede Globo's telenovelas, such as "Quarto de Dormir" (in Lado a Lado, 2012), Feito pra Acabar (in Flor do Caribe, 2013), Um de Nós (in Em Família, 2014) and "Veja (Margarida)", a Vital Farias cover (in Velho Chico, 2016). His second album, De Graça, came out in 2013.[5][6]
In 2015 he recorded "Dia a Dia, Lado a Lado" alongside Tulipa Ruiz, afterwards embarking with her on a nationwide tour.[7]
