JEFFERSON DA VEIGA
The 35-year-old creative jack-of-all-trades, is difficult to pigeonhole and says he is 'almost always' busy with various projects. His music, however, is a proverbial mosaic of English hip-hop, soul, R&B, singer-songwriter and even a touch of rock — always with a personal and social critical note. Jefferson mainly draws his inspiration from the work of the great artists who came before him, such as Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye and Maxwell. His father Alberto 'Beto' Dias, an absolute icon within the Cape Verdean Zouk genre, also played a major role in Jefferson's musical development.
