Biography

The Brazilian pop rock band Hori was founded in São Paulo in 2004, initially bringing together musicians such as lead vocalist Fiuk, guitarist Cleiton Galvão, bassist Alex Pinto, and drummer Xande Bispo. The project began to take shape through partnerships established in local studios, culminating in the recording of the group's first independent EP, titled Mentes Inquietas, in which they tested public reception.

Upon signing a contract with the record label Warner Music Brasil in 2008, the band underwent line-up changes, welcoming members such as Max Klein on lead guitar, Renan Augusto on rhythm guitar, and Felipe Campos on bass. The group's national profile increased considerably when Fiuk took on the starring role in the seventeenth season of the television series Malhação, including the band's hits — such as the song "Quem Eu Sou" and the hit "Só Você" — on the production's official soundtrack.

In 2010, the debut album was re-released under the title Hori: Versão + Fã, featuring unreleased tracks that further boosted the quintet's popularity. However, the band's journey came to an end in early 2011, following the announcement of Fiuk's departure to focus on his acting career and solo musical path, a decision that led the remaining members to permanently disband the group after a series of farewell concerts.
