and this would later determine his choice of singing and writing in English.
Despite having no musical background in his family, Tiago started playing the acoustic guitar at age 8.
In 2007 his unpretentious acoustic single 'Nothing but a Song' drew attention to
his voice and led to the release of his debut album Let Yourself In, which gained notoriety after several of Tiago's songs were featured on major Brazilian primetime soap operas, TV ads and films. Tiago soon started touring across the country and in 2009 was Jason Mraz's Brazilian Tour opening act.
Let Yourself In was also released in Japan, where 'Nothing But a Song' peaked at number 11 on Billboard's Japan HOT 100 Chart, and in South Korea, where the public granted Tiago a Best Foreign Artist Award for his performance at the 2010 Grand Mint Festival. Another single — 'Fine' — featured on the popular South Korean TV series Personal Taste.
His second studio album Umbilical — which had New York-based Andy Chase as producer — was simultaneously released in Brazil, South Korea and Portugal on October 2011. Digital releases in the United States and Japan followed shortly after.
The Umbilical Tour had it's debut on March 14th at the 2012 South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, and included performances in Portugal and over 20 sold out dates in Brazil.
Yes and Nothing Less
Tiago Iorc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And i will share some of mine
My steps led to your doorsteps
Your doorsteps soon became mine
This home is where my heart is
My heart is where we both live
I'm sorry for acting so silly
But i'm standing by your side
No matter what may...
...tempt me not to get by
I'll slip do fit into your dreams
And i'll dream until i'm put to sleep
This breath is yet one less
I keep saying yes and nothing less
Whatever little time there is left
I want to share it
You make it worth it
I want to share it with you.

Sim e Nada Menos
Diga-me, diga-me um segredo
E vou compartilhar alguns dos meus
Meus passos levaram à sua porta
Sua porta logo se tornou minha
Esta casa é onde meu coração está
Meu coração é o lugar onde nós dois vivemos
Sinto muito por ter sido tão bobo
Às vezes isso fica no caminho
Mas eu estou de pé ao seu lado
Não importa o que...
...me tente à não sobreviver
eu vou deslizar para caber em seus sonhos
E eu vou sonhar até ser colocado para dormir
A respiração é ainda uma a menos
Eu continuo dizendo 'sim e nada menos'
O pouco tempo que resta
Eu quero compartilhá-lo
Você faz ele valer a pena
Eu quero compartilhar com você ...
