Rovanio Rovnny Assis (born August 25, 1969), known professionally as Nanny Assis, is a Brazilian-American singer, percussionist, composer, producer, and guitarist based in New York City.

Assis attributes many artists from Salvador, Bahia, and Brazil more generally as his influences, including Dorival Caymmi, and Tropicália icon Gilberto Gil. He also cites Djavan, Pat Metheny, and Chet Baker for their heavy impact on his artistic approach.^[1]
