Archive material and source history

Ad-Rock is the stage name of Ricardo de Souza Rosa, a Brazilian singer-songwriter who came up in Rio de Janeiro. He started performing in local clubs as a teenager, drawing on the city's samba and funk rhythms. His debut album in 1999, simply titled 'Ad-Rock,' featured the single 'Minha Vizinha,' which became a major dancefloor hit and launched his career.

That song, along with tracks like '+ Perto' and 'Dilema,' established his sound in the late '90s and early 2000s. He followed up with albums like 'Ad-Rock 2' in 2002 and 'Ad-Rock 3' in 2005. In 2002, he was involved in a copyright infringement case that sparked some debate, but he kept working afterward.
