Mattheuzinho Oriiginal

Mattheuzinho Oriiginal came up in Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro, where he started making music early on. His 2018 track 'Amor Fica Comigo' broke through, catching on with listeners who connected with its straightforward take on heartache. The song's reach grew online, pulling in streams and views without much traditional industry push.

He works mostly alone, writing and performing his own material, but has brought in collaborators like Kevin o Chris and DJ Anderson at times. Other songs like 'Assume Logo' and 'Dia de Revoada' followed, sticking to themes of relationships and neighborhood life. His sound draws from R&B and pop figures he admired growing up, though he filters it through a local lens.

In 2021, Mattheuzinho faced legal trouble over domestic violence allegations, which complicated his public story. He has denied the charges. Through that, he kept putting out music, with tracks such as 'Aceito' and 'Fica Comigo, Bebê' continuing to find an audience. His output stays focused on the kind of direct, melodic songs that first got people's attention.
