Mascote começou a escrever suas primeiras linhas em 1999. Adquirindo influências das mais diversas vertentes do Hip-Hop, percebeu que nem todos os grupos de Rap da época tinham o mesmo discurso, inserindo metáforas e ideias aparentemente irônicas para protestar, como os grupos Alquimistas e SP Funk, por exemplo. Em 2001, na mesma safra que trouxe para o cenário diversos grupos os quais tornou-se fã assim que os conheceu, como Ascendência Mista, Quinto Andar, Consequência, entre outros, Mascote juntou-se aos amigos de infância Kadú (Peter Perfeito) e Rodolfo para criar o "Ultranônimos", grupo que foi integrado por outros amigos, entre eles "Ogi", que pouco tempo depois o convidou para faezr parte do "Contra Fluxo", com o qual lançou dois discos: Missões & Planos (2005) e o álbum duplo SuperAção (2007). Em 2002, graças a quebra de distâncias e a popularização da internet, ocorrem as primeiras parcerias com diversos nomes da cena de Curitiba-PR, como Cabes, Nave, Thiago Pródigo, Cilho, Cadelis, Dj. Peen, Will, entre outros, como Nairobi e Dario, que vieram logo em seguida. Ainda em 2002, Mascote também foi convidado a entrar para o grupo "Primeira Audição", tendo com este lançado os álbuns "A Primeira Audição é a que fica", (2006) e "Muito Antes De A Gente Chegar" (2017). Em 2008, se associou ao coletivo "Studio Kasa", criado em São Bernardo do Campo por Dj. Crick (ex-Dj do grupo de RnB Humane Soul), que juntou alguns dos mc´s e produtores da cidade que já se conheciam para montar um estúdio e lançar seus respectivos álbuns, entre outros projetos. Atualmente, Mascote segue lançando diversos projetos solo, em parceria com diversos beatmakers e produtores do Brasil.

Minha jornada como DJ começou em 2020, um reflexo da minha vida nômade, absorvendo culturas e ritmos de cada lugar que já morei. Essa bagagem multicultural se traduz nas minhas mixagens. 
Meu som abrange House music, Deep, Afro, Tech, Minimal, Soul, Disco e Brasilidades. Minhas principais referências são artistas como Ron Trent, Lazarusman, Roland Clark, Cajmere, Carl Cox
Minha paixão pela música e conexão com a natureza se refletem em sets diversificados e envolventes..

Criolo; MC, singer, songwriter, released his album “Nó na Orelha” (Knot in the Ear) in May 2011. Produced by Daniel Ganjaman, known for his work with artists such as Nação Zumbi and the late Sabotage, and Marcelo Cabral, a pre-eminent musician of the new generation in Brazil, all tracks were composed and written by Criolo.

“Nó na Orelha” was initially available in Brazil as a free download and only commercially released on CD and vinyl in June 2012, when it also gained its first international exposure via the London-based label, Sterns Music.

Since the release of the album it has received over a dozen awards, both inside and outside of Brazil and Criolo has performed at over 200 shows within Brazil alone. In 2012 he toured internationally and visited 11 countries where his concerts were attended by crowds of all ages. These included the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and the Summer Stage Festival in New York’s Central Park.

The success of “Nó na Orelha” has led Criolo to share the stage with Caetano Veloso, Seu Jorge and the fado singer Ana Moura. In London he collaborated with the Ethio-Jazz icon Mulatu Astatke. Homage has been paid by Chico Buarque, and Criolo was interviewed by Spike Lee for the documentary “Go, Brazil, Go”. During one of the performances of “Nó na Orelha” in Rio de Janeiro, Ney Matogrosso took the stage to duet on the song “Freguês da Meia-Noite”, written by Criolo and to be recorded by Ney for his next album.

In 2013, his whole show “Nó na Orelha – Live at Circo Voador” was filmed in Rio de Janeiro and released as a ‘pay-as-you-like’ download. The DVD and CD “Criolo and Emicida – Live”, directed by Andrucha Waddington, Paula Lavigne and Ricardo Della Rosa, was also released in 2013.

In October 2013, the single “Duas de Cinco” was released digitally and on 12 inch vinyl in Brazil. It contains two new tracks, again produced by Daniel Ganjaman and Marcelo Cabral. A video featuring the lyrics of the first track “Duas de Cinco” has been produced by the project’s art director, Ricardo Fernandes, and is available on YouTube.

It’s classic rap over a sampled beat, with dense verses that feature a bold critique of contemporary Brazil. The chorus, taken from the song “Califórnia Azul” by Rodrigo Campos, a Brazilian artist of the same generation as Criolo, was the starting point for both lyrics and beats.

With the addition of Thomas Rohrer on the rabeca, the traditional violin from the north of Brazil, the B-side of the single, “Coccix-ência”, was recorded live in the El Rocha Studio by the superb musicians that have been Criolo’s backing band for the past two years. These two new songs, together with material from his 2006 release “Ainda Há Tempo” are now part of the repertoire of Criolo’s live shows.

On stage, Criolo performs alongside the producers Daniel Ganjaman (keyboards and electronic programming), who is also the musical director of the show, and Marcelo Cabral (acoustic and electric bass). The musicians Guilherme Held (guitar), Maurício Badé (percussion), Sérgio Machado (drums) and ‘loyal servant’ DJ Dan Dan (vocals and turntables) complete the line-up. - See more at: http://criolo.net
