About
The Story
Gabriel Cascardo is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and musician living in London, where the smooth warmth of bossa nova and MPB meets the pulse of indie and rock. The result is something rare: music that feels both grounded and restless, familiar and quietly surprising.
His lyrics turn inward: self-discovery, mindfulness, the texture of everyday emotion. Calm on the surface, immersive underneath. A sound shaped by two continents, loyal to neither and honest about both.
Released through Marã Música, the Mochita catalogue has grown steadily since 2024, from Quiet to the latest single, Now and Then, carrying Brazilian roots into every room the music enters.
