Murta

Murta, stage name of Francisco Costa, is a 26-year-old Portuguese singer, songwriter and musician who has always aimed to make art his main activity. His intense voice, unfiltered writing and conceptual and visual approach to music make him an artist with a clear identity within pop and urban music. He gained national visibility as a finalist on The Voice Portugal in 2016 and, from there, began to build his career in his own right.

In 2019, he released the album "D'ART VIDA", a debut project that stood out both for its pop/urban sound and its physical concept, with plantable leaves that materialised the connection between art and life. In 2024, he released "LUV IS A LEGACY", a second album where he deepens the emotional and relational dimension of his writing and consolidates his language within the new Portuguese pop scene. He is currently working on his third studio album, scheduled for release in 2026, conceived as the next step in his musical and lyrical maturity.

Singles such as "Porquê" (double platinum) and "Sweet Spot" with Papillon (four times platinum) helped position him with a young, urban audience, reinforcing his name on the national scene. At the same time, he established himself as a songwriter for other artists, writing for names such as Bárbara Bandeira, Syro, Aurea, and David Carreira, among others, which reinforced his credibility as a songwriter in the Portuguese market. In 2024, he also took on the executive production of the EP LEVELZ, by the artist Rocky, moving closer to trap and demonstrating his ability to think and structure projects for others. At the same time, he runs songwriting workshops, sharing his method and tools with new composers.

On stage, his energy and presence have already taken him to some of the country's main festivals and venues, including MEO Sudoeste, EDP Cool Jazz, Super Bock em Stock and Festival F. Focused on a line that crosses pop with urban music, Murta is now entering a phase in which he intends to consolidate his position as an artist with strong songs and consistent performance, with projects prepared to grow in the national market and, in the medium term, in Portuguese-speaking and international markets.
