Alexia Bomtempo’s career launched with Astrolábio (2009) on EMI Brazil, a collection that introduced her Brazilian roots to diverse audiences. Her subsequent English-language project I Just Happen to Be Here (2012) on Biscoito Fino paid homage to Caetano Veloso, demonstrating her ability to reinterpret classic Brazilian literature through contemporary phrasing.
Her explorations continued with Chasing Storms and Stars (2017), a collaboration with David Boyle and Jake Owen. In 2022, she released Doce Carnaval on Ropeadope, a record that NPR and The Washington Post highlighted for its vibrant fusion of rhythms and storytelling. NPR’s The Latin Alternative praised Suspiro (2020) as one of the year’s best albums, while NPR All Songs Considered highlighted Doce Carnaval as a standout release. Bomtempo’s work is consistently described as a thoughtful blend of MPB, samba, bossa nova, and jazz with a cosmopolitan outlook.
With a robust live presence documented in Bandsintown for 2025— including PAC NYC in April and a string of May–July U.S. dates—Bomtempo continues to bring her intimate, narrative-driven performances to audiences across the country. Her official site links to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Spotify, making it easy to follow updates and stream music.
