Biography

Player Tauz, artistic name of Fernando Dondé Alves, is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, music producer, and YouTuber born in Brazil. Before dedicating himself entirely to music, he worked with design and digital production, and also took his first artistic steps singing in religious settings with Grupo Paralelo before pursuing an independent career.

In 2014, the artist began his most prominent phase by creating his YouTube channel, where he started releasing raps inspired by the universes of anime, video games, movies, and pop culture characters. His first release was based on the game DayZ, and massive success came quickly with tracks like "Rap do Naruto", which helped solidify his narrative style focused on fictional characters.

Over the years, Tauz has accumulated billions of views and established himself as one of the main pioneers and most influential names in geek rap in Brazil. Alongside collectives and artists such as the group 7 Minutoz, he played a fundamental role in the popularization and consolidation of this hip-hop subgenre in the country, influencing a whole generation of new creators of musical content focused on nerd culture.
