MaisCéu, the musical persona of Jimmie Griffith, hailing from Minas Gerais, Brazil, seamlessly melds the rich traditions of Brazilian music with influences from his dual upbringing in Brazil and Western North Carolina, his chosen home. Born to a Brazilian mother and a North Carolinian father, Griffith's early years embodied a cultural tapestry, merging the best of both worlds.
His music defies easy classification, acting as a harmonious bridge that connects languages and cultures, offering a universal expression that transcends geographical boundaries.
In 2023, MaisCéu's musical talents earned recognition when he triumphed in the prestigious 9th annual LEAF/NewSong Songwriter Competition, solidifying his reputation as a composer and interpreter of beautifully crafted melodies and harmonies. This achievement paved the way for performances at the LEAF Festival in Black Mountain. In the fall of 2023, MaisCéu was the runner-up in the 22nd NewSong Performance and Songwriting Competition at Citizen Vinyl in Asheville, NC.
MaisCéu's music gracefully dances between dualities, reminiscent of sunlight piercing through a summer storm, capturing the essence of life's multifaceted experiences.
