Son of singer Clary Marcon and multi-instrumentalist and music teacher Algacir Costa, he was raised in the city of Guaíba. He began studying guitar at the age of seven with his father, Algacir Costa, leader of the group Os Fronteiriços, and further improved his skills with Lúcio Yanel, an Argentine virtuoso who settled in Brazil.
Until the age of fifteen, his only musical school was the folk music of Rio Grande do Sul, Argentina, and Uruguay. After listening to Radamés Gnatalli, he started exploring other Brazilian musicians like Baden Powell, Tom Jobim, and Raphael Rabello. At seventeen, he performed for the first time in São Paulo at the Banco do Brasil Cultural Circuit, produced by Estúdio Tom Brasil, and from then on began to be recognized as a rising talent in Brazilian an interview with the Museu da Pessoa, Yamandu Costa spoke about his childhood and beginnings in music.
He highlighted the experiences lived during travels with his family, the performances since an early age, his love for the guitar, and how it became an integral part of the music world. The narrative included details about his first performances, the influence of Gaúcho tradition, and the peculiarities of his life, creating a vivid image of the musical and cultural environment in which he grew up.
His album Vento Sul was chosen as one of the top 25 Brazilian albums of the second half of 2019 by the São Paulo Association of Art Critics.
