A Brazilian arrocha artist whose collaborations with Gusttavo Lima and Wesley Safadão defined his sound.
For his sound, check out 'Como Um Apaixonado Faz' with Gusttavo Lima. 'Você Mora Aonde?' gives you a good sense of his solo work.
Novaes came up playing local bars and festivals in Bahia before his 2016 debut 'O Cara do Arrocha' got attention. His breakout track 'Vem Ni Mim Dodge Ram' with Gusttavo Lima became a national hit, and songs like 'Você Merece Cachê' with Wesley Safadão show how he mixes sertanejo rhythms with pop touches. Even after his 2017 arrest affected his public image, he kept releasing music, including the 2021 album 'O Rei do Arrocha'.
He started as a vocalist and guitarist in the sertanejo scene, then followed his debut with live and acoustic recordings like 'Israel Novaes Acústico' in 2018. After his breakout collaboration with Gusttavo Lima, he worked with other artists like Jorge e Mateus on 'Vai Entender'. His band includes Pedro Viana on bass, Felipe Costa on drums, and Fábio Almeida on keyboards.
