Criolo was born in São Paulo on September 5th, 1975, in the commercial hub of São Paulo, the 'Favela das Imbuias', one of the many shanty towns that girdle the city. Since the age of 11, Criolo concentrated on his love for rap, releasing his debut album ‘‘Ainda Há Tempo’’ in 2006. This led to a reputation as one of the most important rappers in São Paulo. His second album, “Nó na Orelha”, issued in Brazil in 2011 and internationally in 2012, saw his popularity grow beyond São Paulo and Brazil to other countries, leading to live shows in London, New York and Paris. In 2011 “Nó na Orelha” won Best Album at the Brazilian Music Video Awards. In 2014, he participated in the poesiefestival berlin.
