Biography

Léo Foguete, artistic name of Mayrllon de Castro Souza, was born in Petrolina, Pernambuco, on February 25, 2004. Born into a humble family, he got his first acoustic guitar at six years of age and, during his adolescence, had to work in various jobs to help support his family, acting as a doorman, app delivery driver, construction worker assistant, and helper at his father's mechanic shop, in addition to performing in small bars at night. The artistic name that made him famous was adopted along with his team to give greater commercial appeal to his career in the Brazilian music scene.

Before achieving national fame as a performer, Léo already demonstrated talent in songwriting, being the author of the song "Mais Uma Noite", recorded by João Gomes. Expressive recognition came in 2024, when he released the single "Última Noite" in partnership with Nattan, a track that quickly won over the public and featured in the Spotify Brasil Top 10. This initial success opened doors for the consolidation of his musical trajectory, boosted by partnerships and the support of Acertei Produções and the distributor Sua Música Digital.

The consecration of his work occurred with the release of his debut album, titled Obrigado Deus, which reached the number one position on Spotify's most-listened-to albums list in Brazil. In April of the same year, he expanded his discography by participating in the track "Terminou Pra Que", recorded on the DVD Sonho Ao Vivo by singer Hugo Henrique. With meteoric growth on streaming platforms and featuring among the prominent names of the new generation, Léo Foguete continues to expand his repertoire and popularity in the forró and sertanejo music scene.
