Global project for Spotify blending data, cultural research, and storytelling to map the current state of rap and trap music in Brazil. Contributed to investigation, field and desk research, and editorial development, focusing on elevating narratives beyond the regions of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to include Bahia and Minas Gerais.






Project management of the Brazilian edition of Converse All Stars, connecting emerging musicians with mentor Felipe “Lookdatshit” Oliveira. An event was held in São Paulo, and an original track was created to showcase the strength and diversity of Brazil’s underground music scene.
Urban and cultural intervention developed by the WorldXit skate crew in Salvador (Bahia), featuring a sculptural concrete obstacle co-designed with local skaters. Installed in a historically occupied public space, the project reinforced the legacy of grassroots skate culture and Afro-Brazilian heritage through architectural design. The process and its impact were documented in a short film by Black Media Skate.
Final academic article for the Cultural Project Management postgraduate program at CELACC/USP focused on curatorial strategies for Brazilian independent music in the digital age. The research critically examines how algorithmic curation on Spotify and TikTok impacts the visibility and sustainability of peripheral music scenes. Through a case study on DJ Ramon Sucesso and references to critical interculturality (Catherine Walsh) and interdependence (Mat Dryhurst), the study proposes alternative curatorial practices that resist homogenization and promote cultural equity in global music circuits.
