“YouTube is the main platform to showcase my story as an artist and it's where I started on the internet, more than 10 years ago. Because of YouTube, I was truly able to show who I am. My channel became my biggest platform and was very important for the virality of my first hit, “Fantasma.” Through the platform, I was able to deepen my connection with the audience and understand how my music touches people. And with that, I created my first album, “Meu Endereço.” Participating in Foundry gives me the certainty that I will take a much bigger step. I want to reach many more people and especially strengthen the message behind my songs. I feel that Foundry will be another major turning point in my career”
