Formerly known as CHAiLD, Adriano Selva now unveils a more intimate side of himself: by weaving melody and storytelling, his warm voice becomes the soundtrack to life’s highs and lows. Of Italian and Portuguese descent, he draws on Mediterranean passion to infuse his soulful pop with raw emotion, which he describes as being à fleur de peau. While he admires contemporary pop icons, it is primarily the expressive depth and sincerity of artists like Lana del Rey, Woodkid, and Nina Simone that have shaped the exquisite blend of timeless charm and modern flair defining his musical universe — a distinctive style that has already earned him the opportunity to open for renowned artists such as Sam Smith, Dean Lewis, Loïc Nottet, and Mahmood.
