Career

edit

Although Pélico began performing music in the 1990s, and even recorded an album titled Melodrama (Dicionário Cravo Albin da Música Popular Brasileira) in 2003 (calls early album "renegado"[2]), his musical career began in 2006.[3] Pélico's first album O último dia de um homem sem juízo was released by Monga Records / Tratore in 2008.

Pélico's album Que isso fique entre nós was released by YB Music on 16 July 2011. All sixteen tracks on the album were written by Pélico; two songs, "Minha dor" and "Não corra, não mate, não morra", have additional writing credit to Cristiane Lisbôa and Estêvão Bertoni, respectively.[4] Bass guitarist Jesus Sanchez from the São Paulo–based trio Los Pirata was the producer of the album and played on many of the tracks.[5]

Pélico's third album Euforia was released in 2015. A recording of the song "Não há cabeça" by Ângela Rô Rô was included on the soundtrack of the Globo network's primetime telenovela Velho Chico in 2016.[6]
