Biography

Rodrigo Pitta is a multifaceted Brazilian artist, recognized for his work as a singer, songwriter, playwright, director, and screenwriter. His musical career gained prominence with the release of the album "Estados Alterados" (2013), which blends MPB, house music, and electronic music, with influences from the city of São Paulo. The album featured collaboration with American producer Arto Lindsay, who has worked with names such as Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, and Gal Costa. Pitta also stood out for his song "Será?", a satire of a carnival march considered homophobic, recorded in partnership with Ana Carolina and Elza Soares.

In theater, Pitta directed the musical "Cazas de Cazuza" in 2000, a show that portrayed the life of singer Cazuza through his songs. The musical, which started with few resources, achieved critical and public success, touring Brazil. Before that, in 1996, he directed the musical "Pocket Broadway", which was a hit in São Paulo theater. His versatility led him to direct Anitta's first European tour, the "Made in Brazil Tour", and to work as a director on television programs, such as Big Brother Brasil.

Pitta is also known for his work in audiovisuals, directing music videos and series. He was responsible for the concept of Luísa Sonza's album "Pandora", and created the drama series "Alta Sociedade Baixa" for Instagram. His work as a songwriter includes partnerships with other Brazilian artists, such as the song "Bang Bang 2", composed with Ana Carolina. His work moves between the popular and the experimental, always with a critical and innovative perspective on Brazilian society and culture.
