Zero 9 formed in Rio de Janeiro in the early 2000s, with Cláudio Souza on vocals and guitar. Their debut album came out in 2002 and included the song "Conto Os Segundos," which became a hit in Brazil.
They released several albums over the next decade, like "Humanos" in 2004 and "Infinito" in 2008. Their sound sometimes brought in electronic or metal touches, but kept a raw, introspective feel. Other songs like "Dói" and "Don't Stop Dancing" show that range.
Souza has been the consistent presence in a lineup that has changed at times. The band's lyrics often dealt with personal struggles and social issues, which drew both strong fans and some criticism. They kept recording into the 2010s with albums like "20.000 Dias" in 2014.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
