Marcelo Gross is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from Rio de Janeiro, born in 1974. His debut album came out in 1999, featuring the title track 'Alô, Liguei,' which became a national hit. The song's yearning lyrics and catchy melody connected with listeners across the country.
He followed that with albums like 'Águas Passadas' in 2001 and 'Onde Andará' in 2004. Other songs in his catalog include 'Eu Aqui e Você Nem Aí' and 'Purpurina.' Gross has worked with artists including Caetano Veloso and Ivete Sangalo.
In 2002, he was arrested for drug possession, an incident that drew attention but didn't stop his music. He kept recording, putting out 'A Vida É Arte' in 2010. His band has been described as a tight-knit group of musicians.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
