MANIFESTO
Everybody want's to make something meaningful, but no one wants to be seeing trying.
But for real, no one is really looking.
Brenu is a young hip-hop artist from my hometown Recife, whom I met online in mid-2023 with his song “Tempestade,” which was a hit in the local trap scene in Recife. We started working together to creatively direct his new upcoming album “Escama Trap.”
The artist was gaining attention by mixing new waves from Trap with older cultural movements from our state, Pernambuco.
"Escama Trap" has a mix of Detroit, Jersey Club, Brega Funk, and Brega in a very fresh way.
My role was to develop and help him translate this new aesthetic into visuals, music videos, and visualizers.

In his first single, named after the album, "Escama Trap," we chose a very impactful way to launch it.
Recife is a city well known for its beautiful beaches but that are also full of sharks. With signs everywhere advising you not to enter the waters.
So, what did we do? We used Brenu and Mago de Tarso's following fanbase to make them believe Brenu was going to swim at Boa Viagem beach to celebrate the release of "Escama Trap" and then staged a fake shark attack.
TikTok and Instagram went crazy with more than 400K views and 30K interactions.
Singer, songwriter and rapper from venezuela but in buenos aires is where our collaboration starts.
We met back on mid 2019 and since then we´ve been able to collaborate in more than 8 music videos in the 2019-2022 timespan.
My role was to create, and curate the entire aesthetic and visuals around the artist, allowing me to experiment with different styles and vibes since he is also a versatile artist.
In our last project “FRIO HIELO IGLU” we explored this ritualistic language that basically is translated in a metaphor for a break-up process.
