Welton Nadai was born in Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil, in 1983. Since adolescence, he has been passionate about classical guitar, which led him to study at the Tatuí Conservatory. He holds a degree in Music from UNINCOR and a postgraduate degree in Art and Education from Claretianas. His musical career is strongly influenced by the guitarist Pedro Cameron, with whom he maintains an artistic partnership and to whom he owes a large part of his training.

 

In 2012, he released the album Violões Artes Trio alongside Pedro Cameron and Lucas Penteado. As a producer, he was in charge of the album O Violão Bem Temperado (2018), by Brasilis Guitar Duo. In 2019, he released the EP Circuito do Violão, in collaboration with the Orquestra de Violões and the Violões Artes Trio. The following year, he produced the web series Violão na Escola, aimed at promoting the instrument in the educational environment.

 

In 2024, they released the compilation Violões Artes Trio, bringing together recordings made throughout the group's 15 years. In 2025, they presented two new projects: Suíte Jobim, with guitar reinterpretations of works by the Rio de Janeiro composer, and the EP Entardecer, a tribute to Brazilian popular song, interpreting iconic themes such as Berceuse (Brahms), Assum Preto (Luiz Gonzaga), Casa de Caboclo (Hekel Tavares), Gente Humilde (Garoto), Tristeza do Jeca (Angelino de Oliveira) and Carinhoso (Pixinguinha).

 

Currently, Welton is touring with the Violões Artes Trio, alongside Pedro Cameron and Priscila Giusti, in addition to performing solo and producing new content for his YouTube channel.
