Singer, guitarist and songwriter Marco Figueira was born in Carangola,
a small town in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. His love of music
found its expression early on, when he began to sing and play guitar
at the age of eight. In 1988, Marco fulfilled a long-held dream
of moving to New York where he . quickly established himself as
both a solo performer and bandleader, playing for a devoted following
in a wide variety of venues. New York afforded Marco the chance
to study and play with some of the top performers in Brazilian and
American jazz. He studied guitar with Paulo André Tavares,
Romero Lubambo and Paul Meyers, and voice with Datevik Hovanesian.
