Biography

Grelo, artistic name of Gabriel Ângelo Furtado de Oliveira, was born in Anápolis, Goiás, on September 14, 1997. He began his artistic journey at a very young age, around 16, initially composing songs for the church environment before establishing himself as one of the most prominent songwriters behind the scenes of sertanejo music and rhythms such as forró, piseiro, and arrocha. Over a career spanning more than a decade behind the scenes, he accumulated a catalog with hundreds of works recorded by major names in Brazilian music, such as Marília Mendonça, Simone Mendes, and Jorge & Mateus.

Before taking on vocals as a performer in official projects, Grelo built a solid reputation as a songwriter and arranger. The nickname "Grelo" came affectionately from the word "magrelo" (skinny), due to his physical build. His first forays as a singer gained notoriety organically following the leak of informal recordings on the internet, which encouraged him to fully invest in his solo career with the strong support of the sertanejo duo Henrique & Juliano, through the Dois M management office.

In 2024, the artist released his debut album, "É o Grelo", and achieved massive national projection with the hit "Só Fé", a track that went viral on streaming platforms and topped major music charts. This meteoric success earned him highly relevant awards in the Brazilian music scene, including a victory in the Arrocha of the Year category at the 2024 Prêmio Multishow and recognitions at the 2025 Prêmio da Música Brasileira.
