about
Hi, I am Vasco (Narciso). Born and raised in Lisbon.
My passion for music started when I was a kid, listening to my parent’s jazz records. At 18 years old I started studying at Hot Club, a local jazz school. Went to the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2016, where I did my bachelor in Jazz Guitar.
I started recroding and producing my own work during lockdown. In November 2020 my first EP Anticorpo was released via Collect Music, a Lisbon based record label, and the single My One came out one year later on the same label.
Throughout 2022 I wrote songs for my first album ‘22’, released independently on May 28th 2023.
Apart from music, I founded Arrepio Lisboa with photographer Francisco Narciso (my brother) and art director Pedro Vercesi. Arrepio is an artist collective and cultural space in Graça that hosts all kinds of events and resident artists. I also work as a model from time to time, being featured on the last issue of Portuguese Soul.
