Mini bio

How it started.

Hariel Denaro Ribeiro grew up in Vila Aurora, in northern São Paulo. He began recording songs at eleven with encouragement from his father, a musician. Before music became his living, he worked delivering pizzas and selling cards. His early career grew out of homemade videos and rhymes, and “Passei Sorrindo,” released in 2014, gave him an early breakthrough.

Finding his voice.

“Lei do Retorno,” with MC Don Juan, followed in 2017. His songs pair funk paulista with rap and trap, returning to perseverance, inequality and the everyday life of São Paulo’s outskirts. Fans also know him as Haridade. In 2020, he released his debut album, Chora Agora, Ri Depois, with ten original songs.

Making room for more sounds.

Funk Superação brought Gilberto Gil, IZA and Péricles into his 2024 live project. “A Dança,” with Gil, won Música Urbana do Ano at Prêmio Multishow 2024; its live recording earned a 2025 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Portuguese Language Urban Performance. He followed Eh Noiz Ki Tá in 2025 with A Vida é Um Freestyle, an orchestral Red Bull Symphonic album and Aplauso Não Paga as Contas in 2026.
