Bio
Caio e Jess is led by American vocalist, Jessica Curran and Brazilian guitarist, Caio Afiune. The two uniquely blend their backgrounds in Jazz, Rock-Pop and Brazilian Music to create genre-bending organic and lush compositions. Both professors at Berklee College of music and with awards such as the ASCAP Young Composers Award and John Lennon Songwriting Contest under their belts, Caio e Jess provide an ethereal, unique and immersive show of virtuosic electricity with either full band or duo. Their works explore the many forms of compassion shown to ourselves, to each other, and to the planet with poetic lyrics, dreamy landscapes, rich harmonies and a synthesis of acoustic instruments and modern technology.
In Northern Brazil, a natural phenomenon occurs called “Encontro das Águas” translating from Portuguese to “The Meeting of the Waters”. Two distinctly different rivers meet and flow side by side, unmixed for miles, before heading toward the ocean as one. Caio e Jess strive to embody this philosophy as a married international couple using their shared experiences to create compositions unlike any other. Currently, the two are gearing up to release their debut full-length album, “Encontro”, featuring some of the finest musicians from around the globe including prestigious guests such as Laura Perrudin, Michael Mayo and Marissol Mwaba and produced by Grammy-Winner, Nic Hard.
