Onix

Onix formed in São Paulo during the mid-1980s around brothers Marcelo Nova on vocals and Léo Jaime on guitar. They started as a pop rock band with a straightforward approach, playing shows that built a local following. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1987 and included the song 'Acabou,' which became their breakout track.

'Acabou' connected with listeners in Brazil, its lyrics about a relationship ending resonating widely. The song's melody stuck in people's heads, and it became the track most associated with the band. Other songs like 'Ele Vem' and 'Mais Que Vencedor' appeared in their catalog, but 'Acabou' remained their signature.

They released several more albums through the 1990s, including 'A Doce Guerra' in 1988 and 'Dias Melhores' in 1990. The band's activity slowed at times, with Marcelo Nova dealing with personal issues that included drug addiction. They managed to record again later in the decade with 'Nosso Tempo Chegou' in 1998.
