A Brazilian singer-songwriter whose lyrics anchor a sound that pulls from samba, reggae, and rap.
For a good sense of his range, listen to "Sabe" and "Anderson Silva." They show how he handles different rhythms and subjects without ever sounding like he's forcing it.
He came up through the Salvador scene and got early attention with the 2010 single "Pangeia," a collaboration with the rap duo Atentado Napalm. That track's mix of rap and Brazilian rhythms points to what he'd keep doing, songs like "Sabe" and "Desde Muito Tempo Atrás" are built on that same lyrical focus and musical blend. He's also worked with figures like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, which places him in a certain lineage without losing his own voice.
He started gaining notice around 2010 with "Pangeia." Since then, he's put out tracks like "Modo On" with Ítalo Beatbox and "Terra de Ninguém" featuring Cachola, and he performs with a regular band that includes guitar, bass, drums, and turntables. The plagiarism allegations around "Pangeia" in 2015 became part of his story, but he kept making music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
