Jorge Mário da Silva, more commonly known by his stage name Seu Jorge. He is a Brazilian musical artist, songwriter, and actor.

Seu Jorge had a tough childhood in the neighborhood of Gogó da Ema, in Belford Roxo. He started working in a tire shop when he was only 10 years old, the first of various jobs such as courier, joiner, and potato peeler in a bar.

The various professions never hindered Seu Jorge's dream of becoming a musician. Since his adolescence, he would frequent samba circles and funk parties with his dad and brothers, and early on started to perform singing at such events. It was there that, in 1990, the murder of his brother Vitório tore his family apart, and Seu Jorge ended up being homeless for around three years.

Seu Jorge has gained exposure through his work as an actor and soundtrack composer. He appeared in the critically acclaimed 2002 film City of God as Mané Galinha. He also appered in the Wes Anderson's film The life of aquatic with Steve Zizou.

"Musica para churrasco" was released in two albums. Volume 1 was released in 2011.
