About

Before fame

He became fascinated with music, fashion, and underground culture at a time when electronic music was still developing in Brazil.

He launched the first version of D-EDGE in 2000 in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, and expanded the concept to São Paulo in 2003. He began releasing his own original music publicly in 2013 with his breakthrough EP Soul Machine. He released his debut album Black Belt also in 2013.
