Biography

Rodrigo Lemos, known artistically as Lemoskine, is a multifaceted musician hailing from Curitiba, Brazil. He first gained recognition as the vocalist and songwriter for the band Poléxia in the latter half of the 2000s. Lemoskine's work is characterized by a poetic style that is both romantic and introspective, often exploring themes of melancholy and personal reflection. His artistic journey has seen him contribute to various projects, including a collaboration with members of Sabonetes on Naked Girls And Aeroplanes, and a significant role in the acclaimed band A Banda Mais Bonita da Cidade.

In 2012, Lemoskine released his debut solo album, "Toda a Casa Crua," which synthesized his diverse musical experiences. The album draws inspiration from the experimental sounds of Radiohead and the poetic lyricism of Los Hermanos, forging a distinct path within the Brazilian independent music scene. "Toda a Casa Crua" was noted for its intimate poetry and mature, albeit somewhat somber, tone, transforming personal pain and melancholy into a shared experience for the listener.

Beyond his solo work and collaborations, Lemoskine's discography includes releases like "Pangea I Palace II" (2015) and "O Que Eles Têm" (2015). His music often features a blend of introspective lyrics and a sound that can be described as indie pop with experimental undertones. Lemoskine's contributions extend to songwriting for other artists, as seen in his collaboration with Juliana Cortes on the song "Três."
