Brada
Emanuel Oliveira, known as Brada, is a Portuguese music producer and composer whose sound lives at the intersection of Afrobeats, Kizomba and contemporary electronic music. Blending African rhythm, melodic depth and forward-thinking production, he has developed a distinctive musical identity for global audiences and dance floors.
With roots in Angola through his father and Mozambique through his mother, Brada’s creative vision is deeply connected to African culture. His father was a member of the legendary group Duo Ouro Negro, an influence that shaped his understanding of rhythm, composition and artistic expression from an early age.
A Billboard No. 1 and diamond-certified producer in Brazil, with credits alongside Madonna and Anitta, Brada has also collaborated with Calema, Nelson Freitas, Deejay Telio, C4 Pedro, Mika Mendes and Kaysha, among many others.
His work moves naturally between genres, cultures and markets, combining melodic expression, Afrobeats energy, Afro House intensity, world music influences and contemporary electronic production.
Brada is also the founder of Urbana Music, an independent platform focused on developing and amplifying forward-thinking Afrobeats, Kizomba and electronic sounds.
Driven by authenticity, versatility and global ambition, Brada continues to build a catalogue connecting Africa, Europe and the international music landscape, honouring his heritage while helping shape the future of African-influenced contemporary music.
