Pedro do Espirito Santo Sampaio (born December 21, 1997) is a Brazilian singer and music producer, known for the songs "Sentadão", "Bota Pra Tremer" and "Chama Ela", in partnership with the singer Lexa. He is signed to Warner Music Brasil.[1]

Career

At the age of 13, he began to discover his talent for percussion by playing in a bucket and then convinced his father to buy a tantã, repinique, timbal and tambourine. A year later, he was discovered by Victor Junior when he played as a DJ at a party with his father's friend. He started to dedicate himself more until he reached 17 years old, when he definitely joined Dennis DJ's artist team.[2]

He started his artistic career in 2017, posting videos of remixed versions of songs by other artists on YouTube, which made Pedro gain visibility on the internet and was hired to do shows, with songs sung and produced by himself. In December 2018, he signed a contract with the label Warner Music Brasil.

In 2019, he released the single "Sentadão", with the participation of singer Felipe Original and the production of JS o Mão de Ouro, which quickly became one of the radio's most performed songs, reaching the second position in the Spotify ranking in Brazil and occupying the 194th place in the TOP 200 Global.[3]
