Career
edit2010–2011: Formation and debut album
editSinger Chay Suede participated in the fifth season of the Brazilian reality show Ídolos[8] and, shortly after being eliminated in September 2010, was already being considered as a new cast member of Rebel Rio, due to its popularity with the public.[9] At the end of October, the actors who would comprise the band were announced.[10]
The Brazilian band NX Zero took part in producing the debut Rebeldes album. The opening song, recorded by the six protagonists on 14 March 2011, was composed by Di Ferrero,[11] lead singer of the band, guitarist Gee Rocha, and producer Rick Bonadio.[12] The team participated in writing the rest of the album, which we released on 23 September 2011.[3][13] "Do Jeito Que Eu Sou" came out as the first single, and was accompanied by an acoustic version, originally included on Rebeldes as a bonus track.[14][15] On 6 November 2011, on the stage of Programa do Gugu, Rebeldes won their first gold record, for selling 50,000 copies of the record. This was certified by the Brazilian Association of Record Producers (ABPD).[16] The band members said they dreamed of playing to national audiences.[17] The tour, titled Rebeldes Teen Festival, began in Porto Alegre in October 2011, with a show that included the participation of pop singer Manu Gavassi.[18] The album went on to be certified Platinum.
2012: Live record and second album
editOn 11 March 2012, Rebeldes released their first live CD and DVD, titled Rebeldes – Ao vivo. The album reached 5th position in the Top 10, thus garnering the group their second Gold record for 60,000 copies sold, while the DVD was certified Platinum 80,000 copies sold.[19] On 7 April, the band released the promo single "Nada Pode Nos Parar" to publicize the album and DVD. In June, the song "Depois da Chuva" was released as the third official single from the album Rebeldes, with a live clip taken from the band's first DVD.
In September 2012, Rebeldes issued the first single from their second album, "Liberdade Consciente", a reggaeton tune. This was followed in the same month by another single, "Meu Jeito, Seu Jeito", sung by Lua Blanco. The name of the band's second album was also Meu Jeito, Seu Jeito.
