Brazilian singer Fernanda Cunha is celebrated for her warm, expressive voice and her seamless blend of the rhythmic richness of Brazilian music with the sophistication of jazz. With a career spanning stages across Brazil, North America, and Europe, she has become a passionate ambassador for Brazilian music abroad—especially in Canada, the country she now proudly calls home.

Since establishing her artistic base in Canada, Fernanda has cultivated strong musical relationships rooted in collaboration and cultural exchange. For the past 14 years, she has performed extensively throughout Ontario with two of the country’s most respected musicians: guitarist Reg Schwager and pianist Tom Szczesniak, forming a cherished long-term trio. Her Canadian rhythm section often includes renowned drummer Alan Hetherington, and she has had the pleasure of working with some of Canada’s top bassists, such as Neil Swainson, Pat Collins, and Clark Johnston.

Fernanda’s musical ties extend west to Alberta, where she frequently collaborates with pianist Chris Andrew and bassist Rubim de Toledo, further enriching her sound with local flavours and energy.

Her European tours also showcase her global network of collaborators. In Europe, she performs alongside Brazilian pianist Fagner Wesley (based in Vienna), Portuguese guitarist Afonso Pais, and local musicians across the continent.

Whether interpreting classic bossa nova, contemporary Brazilian compositions, or creating her own original interpretations, Fernanda Cunha brings intimacy, elegance, and authenticity to every performance. Her deep appreciation for different audiences and artists continues to shape her artistic path, making her a unique and compelling voice in the landscape of Brazilian–Canadian musical fusion.
