António José Correia de Brito known as Tozé Brito is a Portuguese singer, lyricist, composer, producer, editor, administrator and mentor of musical projects.
He formed his first group at the age of fourteen and at the age of fifteen is one of the founding members of the group “Pop Five Music Incorporated” as bass guitar and vocalist. He is a founding member of the band Quarteto 111, one of the progressive-psychedelic rock bands in Portugal.
He has won the Festival RTP da Canção three times. First, as a singer in the pop band Gemini, 1978 “Dai li dou”. Second, as composer for the Doce, 1982 “Bem Bom” and third, in 1985, as composer for Adelaide Ferreira, “Penso em ti”.
Countless were the records in which he participated and, more importantly, the songs he wrote for other artists. His career has been the object of tributes and mentions by various segments of artists and generations.
More recently, “Olá Então Como Vais?”, the most timeless of the dialogues in the history of Portuguese music, sung in 1979 by Tozé Brito and Paulo de Carvalho, now gains another life in the voice of B Fachada and Benjamim, from the record Tozé Brito (de) Novo no ano de 2021.
