Cordeone is an accordionist, guitarist, and bandleader whose French café group brings the sound of Parisian streets to New York City. With over 70,000 monthly listeners and more than 10 million streams, his music has found a devoted audience far beyond the café tables where it feels most at home.

Born into music, Cordeone started performing at Portuguese bailes at age 9. The accordion came first, and from there he taught himself piano, classical guitar, Portuguese guitar, Brazilian percussion, drums, and bass, turning professional by 18.

Along the way he has shared stages and studios with artists from every corner of the musical map, including Cyrille Aimée, Juana Luna, Pedro Giraudo, Marcel Loeffler, Jaime Lozano, Michael Pipoquinha, Ben l'Oncle Soul, and Mario Canonge. That range shows up in his writing, where jazz meets Afro-Luso traditions, hip hop, and reggae in music that could only be his.
