GUILHERME ARANTES

An artist with an incredible crossover between all social classes, admired both on and off stage by audiences and critics everywhere for his unique combination of being a composer, a singer, a hitmaker and a pianist. Guilherme's composing style is considered a mix of pop, progressive rock, R&B, and much of the Brazilian heritage of bossa nova and "MPB". Guilherme just released a new Album in 2021 called A Desordem dos Templarios, with recent compositions written in Avila, Spain. During this pandemic period, Guilherme studied orchestration and baroque music, and those classical influences, besides the Middle-Age atmosphere of the city, have been deeply imprinted on the recorded material.
