Mini bio
How it started.
Raised in Salvador’s Lobato neighborhood, Léo worked selling roast chicken, making drinks and cutting hair before music became his livelihood. He played percussion with Som Bahia and pandeiro with the community samba group Simplicidade Maior before moving into singing.
The breakout.
As Parangolé’s frontman, he reached a national audience with “Rebolation”, which he wrote with Nenel. The song became a Carnival 2010 hit. He left the band in March 2014 to build a solo career.
Songs fans know by heart.
His solo catalog includes “Contatinho”, recorded with Anitta for Levada do Gigante in 2019, and “Zona de Perigo”, which reached number one on Spotify Brazil in 2023. Dance and percussion remain central to the way fans meet his songs.
Room for a roda.
paGGodin grew out of samba gatherings with friends and family at home. It gives fans another side of his voice through samba, pagode and guest performances. In 2026 he released its third edition in Salvador and the complete DNA de GG project celebrating 20 years in music.
