Hello! I'm Afonso Fontão da Costa, a Portuguese singer and musician currently based in Amsterdam. I'm currently getting my Master of Music at Conservatorium Maastricht, where I study Classical voice, which includes opera and lied interpretation, while also exploring contemporary performance and music writting. I am a versitile musician (singing; piano and guitar playing; composing and arranging in multiple genres and instrumental settings). Over the years I've performed with chamber choirs, operas, musicals, jazz projects and Portuguese music groups across Portugal and the Netherlands, which gave me a lot of knowledge and experience in many musical and cultural fields. I collaborate arranging and composing for ensembles like Neyma and Incognituna, as well as performing in fado and choral repertoire. I speak Portuguese and English fluently and have experience with several languages, and I'm excited to keep growing as a versatile performer and creative contributor.
