Jey V formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2013 with members Jessé Barbosa, Victor Dias, Eduardo Esteves, and Pedro Lima. Their 2015 debut single "Deixa o Mundo Falar" became a hit, connecting with listeners through its blend of pop, funk, and Brazilian rhythms.
In 2017, the band faced criticism over lyrics some considered misogynistic, which led to a public apology. They kept recording through that period, putting out albums like "Furacão" and "Alma" and working with other Brazilian artists.
Songs like "Duas Caras" with Yudi Fox and "Tá a Bater" with Putzgrilla and Toy T-Rex show their collaborative side, while tracks such as "Longe de Ti" and "Tamo a Viver" maintained their presence on Brazilian radio. Their music found particular resonance with LGBTQ+ listeners, though they never became a strictly political act.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
