He started his musical career at age 13 after winning the Grande Noite do Fado competition and released his first album produced by António Chainho in 1979. His breakthrough came with involvement in music theater productions under Filipe la Féria and participation in the Noites da Fado at Teatro da Comuna, produced by Aldina Duarte. In 1995, Camané released his first adult artist album, Uma noite de Fados, marking the start of his international career.
