With a career spanning both decades and continents, Nilze carries the legacy and lineage of singers who have brought the magic of bossa nova, choro and samba to jazz audiences around the world like Guinga and Zeca Pagodinho—both whom she has shared a stage with.

Whether performing beloved classics or original compositions, Nilze brings an authenticity and warmth that is both instantly mesmerising and deeply felt.
