Rodrigo Haddad (born
December 18 ,1974 - San Paulo, SP -Brazil )“One of Brazil's leading advocates of American
country music , Rodrigo Haddad has played show after show at venues ranging from big city honky-tonks to small-town rodeos. Even afterCMT went off the air in Brazil, Rodrigo continued to promote country music through albums and shows. In 2005 he released a collection of original songs entitled Ten Years and More to Come, and by 2007 he was living in Nashville—hard at work on new material. Like many country music fans in Brazil, I have tremendous respect for Rodrigo. He embodies integrity and determination, which are the heart of the country way of life. His tireless efforts have touched thousands, and he has done more than any single person I know to promote country music in and out of Brazil.”Jason BerminghamFormer Operations Manager for Country Music Television (CMT) International in Brazil
