Gene Araujo came up in the 1980s playing in local bands around Ilhéus, Bahia. His first album, 'Tempo Pra Pensar,' came out in 1987 and gave him a national hit with the title track. That record established him in Brazilian popular music.
His songs like 'Aconteceu' and 'Amor One Way' show his approach, which mixes Brazilian rhythms with some jazz and soul touches. He's worked with musicians like guitarist Junior Almeida and bassist Zé Carlos over time.
He put out albums like 'Gene Araujo' in 1993 and 'Acústico' in 1997, among others.
