Brazilian Gospel Icons Rose and Mattos Nascimento

Rose Nascimento (Rosângela de Azeredo do Nascimento) was born on 15 September 1966 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, into a large musical family. She began her career as a backing vocalist for secular artists before becoming a leading solo singer in contemporary Pentecostal worship. Known for her powerful voice and emotive delivery, she has built a prominent solo ministry and is reported to have a net worth of about $3 million.

Mattos Nascimento (Matusael do Nascimento) was born on 2 June 1954, also in Rio de Janeiro. He first gained fame as a trombonist with the rock group Os Paralamas do Sucesso in the 1980s, then fully embraced evangelical music, becoming a major figure in Brazilian gospel. His discography and brass‑driven arrangements have earned him a reputation as a foundational pillar of Latin American Pentecostal music, with an estimated net worth of $1.8 million.

Both are children of Mário Manoel and Noêmia Nascimento and share a deep involvement in Brazil’s Pentecostal music scene.
