Lil Jotão is the stage name of João Gabriel Cavalcante, who started making music around age 14. He comes from a low-income neighborhood in São Paulo, Brazil, and his songs often reflect that environment. In 2017, his track 'Aquele Joguinho' became a breakout hit, connecting with listeners across the country.
His music blends funk rhythms with hip-hop and trap elements, and he's known for songs like 'Ei Carinha (Outra Dimensão) (parte 2)' and 'Garota do Lo-Fi.' The lyrics sometimes touch on subjects that have drawn criticism from conservative groups, but they've also resonated with many young Brazilians from similar backgrounds.
He released albums including 'Aquele Joguinho' in 2017, 'O Baile' in 2018, and 'Tudo ou Nada' in 2020. He has worked with other artists like Guti on tracks such as 'Ei Carinha / Longe de Você.'
