Rogê (née Roger José Cury) got his start in Rio’s spirited Lapa neighborhood, where he was a fixture at samba-centric nightclubs. Here, he met collaborators like The Life Aquatic star Seu Jorge, with whom he released an exceptional EP in 2020, and sambeiro Arlindo Cruz, with whom he would go on to garner a Latin Grammy nomination. He released six other solo albums of music that mixes samba with Música Popular Brasileira (MPB; Brazilian pop music) while living in Rio, earning him the status of a local legend.

Now based in Los Angeles, CA, he just released Curyman (Diamond West Records), his debut album in the United States.
