Raised between his native paulista capital and Fortaleza, his artistic identity was deeply shaped by the legendary Pessoado Ceará movement and the critical lyrical style of icons like Belchior. Over the years, he has established himself as a prominent figure in contemporary literature and the independent music scene, recognized for blending colloquial speech with high poetic standards while tackling social and political themes.

In addition to his literary accomplishments, which include award-winning poetry books such as Alucinação, Perroni Ratto has maintained an active presence in the Brazilian musical landscape. He has been a member of several underground and alternative bands, including Loco Sapiens, Eletrogroove, and Luz de Caroline.
