Biography

Iago Ribeiro Sasso, better known as MC Hollywood or Tio Holly, was born in 1993 in the East Zone of São Paulo. He began his funk career in 2012, drawing inspiration from names like MC Magrinho and the group Bonde do Tigrão. His trademark is the use of a peculiar tone of voice reminiscent of opera, a characteristic that arose unusually after watching a parody of 'The Barber of Seville'. This vocal peculiarity helped him stand out in the music scene.

MC Hollywood gained notoriety with hits like "Fumando e Bebendo" and "Como eu Vou Voltar Pra Casa", exploring funk-rave and street funk. In 2020, he released songs in tribute to Corinthians, a club for which he shows great passion, such as "Homenagem à Torcida do Corinthians" and "Coração Preto e Branco". This connection with the São Paulo team intensified during the pandemic, when he sought new ways to connect with his fans and the Corinthians supporters.

Throughout his career, MC Hollywood has reinvented himself, exploring different strands of funk, such as trap and arrocha-rave, in projects like the album "Álbum do Tio Holly". He has also positioned himself as a thought leader, encouraging youth to seek education and knowledge as the basis for success, even within the music industry. His trajectory demonstrates a constant evolution, moving between more traditional funk and new sounds, always with his unique vocal identity.
