Marcus Victor & Matheus

Marcus Victor and Matheus started playing together in 2013 after meeting at a music festival in São Paulo. They worked in sertanejo, a Brazilian style built around romantic ballads, and added some modern pop touches. Their song 'Dor de amor não tem jeito' came out the next year and connected with listeners who recognized its straightforward take on heartache.

That track became their most well-known work. The duo put out several albums over the following years, though details about their later output are thin. There were occasional rumors about disagreements between them, with Marcus Victor described as more outgoing and Matheus as quieter, but they kept performing together.
