Júlio Resende, Portuguese pianist and composer, is one of the most original and versatile musicians of his generation. With a career spanning more than ten albums, his journey began in Jazz, later exploring pop-rock and spoken word, until finding in Fado a new form of expression. This constant pursuit of innovation and improvisation has made him a leading figure in Portuguese music.

His first three albums — Da Alma (2007), Assim Falava Jazzatustra (2009), and You Taste Like a Song (2011) — showcased his mastery of jazz, but it was with Amália por Júlio Resende (2013) that he achieved international acclaim by bringing together piano and Fado in an unprecedented way, earning the prestigious Choc Disc ***** 5 Stars award from the French magazine CLASSICA. In this album, Resende dared to create an unlikely dialogue with the immortal voice of Amália Rodrigues, in the track Medo, achieving the rare distinction of performing side by side with the “Diva of Fado”. Later works, such as Fado & Further (2015), continued to explore bridges between musical genres, while his international career, studies in Lisbon and Paris, and collaborations with musicians from renowned institutions (New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, Berklee College of Music, Bill Evans Academy) solidified his path as a global artist. Today, Júlio Resende is celebrated for his ability to cross musical borders, reinventing himself with every project and taking Portuguese music to new horizons.
