Padre Guilherme is a Portuguese Catholic priest, DJ and producer whose extraordinary fusion of electronic music, faith and human connection has made him one of the most distinctive figures in contemporary music culture. Born Guilherme Peixoto, he has served as a priest since 1999 while developing a global artistic identity rooted in peace, spirituality, joy and the belief that music can unite people beyond religion, culture and language.
Blending melodic techno, sacred music, cinematic atmospheres and messages of hope, Padre Guilherme creates performances that feel both spiritual and powerfully communal. His global breakthrough came at World Youth Day in Lisbon, where he played to approximately 1.5 million young people before Pope Francis’ closing Mass - a landmark moment that introduced his unique vision of faith-inspired electronic music to audiences around the world.
Through Lux Aeterna Records, Padre Guilherme continues to build a musical universe dedicated to peace, light and transcendence. Releases such as Veneremur Et Adoremus, Integral Ecology, Si Tuvieras Fe and We Want an Unarmed and Disarming Peace reflect his mission to transform electronic music into a space for reflection, celebration and unity.
On stage, Padre Guilherme delivers an uplifting and emotionally charged DJ set built around melody, rhythm, light and collective energy. Whether performing at festivals, sacred landmarks, public squares or international club spaces, he creates a rare encounter between the dancefloor and the spiritual world - inviting audiences to celebrate, reflect and connect through music. With a message centred on peace, inclusion and joy, Padre Guilherme stands as one of the most original and meaningful artists in global electronic music.
