Raphael Costa is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from São Paulo, born in 1989. He started playing in local bars and open mics, drawing from samba and MPB influences. In 2016, his song 'Dia Desses' became popular across Brazil, a ballad about looking for love that connected with listeners.
After 'Dia Desses' took off, Costa faced some criticism about the song's chorus, though those claims didn't stick. He's also been vocal about social issues like LGBTQ+ rights and political corruption, which has drawn mixed reactions. He followed up with albums like 'Assim Sou Eu' in 2018 and has other songs like 'Mão Na Mão' and 'Pra Ela' in his catalog.
