He was a samba musician throughout childhood and adolescence, but became a football player.

In 2015, his album Bossa Negra, a partnership with Hamilton de Holanda, was nominated for the 16th Latin Grammy Awards in the Best Samba/Pagode Album category. The title track of the album was also nominated for the same award, in the Best Brazilian Song category. In the 2017 Award, his album Alma Brasileira was nominated in the same category as Bossa Negra and his song "Pé na Areia" was nominated in the same category (now renamed as Best Portuguese Language Song) as "Bossa Negra". In 2021, his album Samba de Verão was nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Samba/Pagode Album.
