Marcus Santos is a Brazilian singer and songwriter from São Paulo. He first gained attention in 2015 with 'Amor de Internet,' a ballad about online romance that became a hit. The song's straightforward lyrics about virtual connections resonated with listeners.
His music draws from samba and bossa nova traditions, though he's also incorporated electronic elements at times. This blend has sometimes drawn criticism from those who prefer more traditional Brazilian sounds. Beyond 'Amor de Internet,' he's recorded songs like 'Seguir Sozinho' and released albums including Samba de Verão and Vida Nova.
Santos has faced some personal challenges, including periods of depression and addiction that led to a break from music. He's spoken about finding support through therapy and his faith during those times. There was also a legal dispute over his debut album rights at one point.
He continues to write and record, with Tempo de Amar coming out in 2022. His work remains grounded in Brazilian musical traditions while exploring contemporary themes.
