Fabiano do Nascimento is a Rio de Janeiro-born, Los Angeles and Tokyo-based guitarist, composer, arranger, and producer, known for his stunning tapestry of intricately woven, multi-string performances.
Fabiano is a singular voice in contemporary music, blending the deep traditions of Brazilian jazz with an adventurous, genre-fluid approach. His music eﬀortlessly moves between hypnotic ambient soundscapes, intricate acoustic-electronic textures, and the infectious rhythms of bossa nova.
Rooted in the rhythms of Afro-samba and choro, his compositions fuse elements of American jazz, experimental electronica, and orchestral arrangements, creating a sound that is expansive by nature. His unique voice in contemporary music has led to collaborations with world-class artists such as Airto Moreira, Arthur Verocai, Sam Gendel, Carioca Freitas, Beirut, Aloe Blacc, Daniel Santiago, Itiberê Zwarg, and Vittor Santos, among many others.
Fabiano’s musical journey began in Rio de Janeiro, where he grew up in a family deeply connected to music. His great-grandfather, Ladario Teixeira, was a blind virtuoso saxophonist who helped shape the instrument’s role in Brazilian music. Though initially trained in classical piano, Fabiano’s passion was ignited when he picked up the guitar at age ten. His devotion to the instrument led him to study intensively under the mentorship of his late uncle, Lucio Nascimento, a revered bassist, composer, and arranger.
In 2001, Fabiano moved to Los Angeles, where his distinct artistry quickly gained recognition. He first made waves as a founding member of the critically acclaimed Latin jazz group Triorganico before launching a prolific solo career. His discography spans nine full-length LPs, released on esteemed labels including Now-Again Records (Dança dos Tempos, Tempos dos Mestres, Prelúdio, Ykytu, Lendas), Far Out Recordings (Mundo Solo), Leaving Records (Das Nuvens), and Real World Records (The Room). His music has been celebrated by major media outlets, with highlights including a feature on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts.
A seasoned live performer, Fabiano has toured extensively across North America and Asia, and his debut European tour in 2024 saw multiple sold-out shows, including a standout performance at London’s ICA.
His versatility extends beyond intimate solo and ensemble performances—he has also played with a symphony orchestra in Brazil, further showcasing the depth and adaptability of his artistry.
With a sound that is both timeless and forward-thinking, Fabiano do Nascimento continues to carve out a unique space in global music, seamlessly bridging past and present while captivating audiences worldwide.
