Biography

Sérgio Luiz de Arruda Loroza, better known as Serjão Loroza, was born in Rio de Janeiro and has built a solid career as a singer, songwriter, actor, and television host. Born in the neighborhood of Madureira, he took his first steps in music by participating in choirs and cultural activities before gaining national prominence in the 1990s as a member of the group Farofa Carioca, alongside artists such as Seu Jorge and Gabriel Moura. With an approach that mixed samba, soul, funk, and hip-hop, the group marked a renewal of Brazilian urban music.

As a solo artist, Loroza expanded his discography with works focused on dance music and the appreciation of suburban roots, releasing albums such as MBP – Música Brasileira de Pista and Carpe Diem. In addition to music, he established himself as a multifaceted artist with a strong presence in television, film, and theater, participating in high-profile productions and entertainment shows like The Masked Singer Brasil.

Maintaining his connection to the cultural manifestations of Rio de Janeiro, the singer also created projects such as the street band Us Madureira, reaffirming his commitment to the spread of Rio's suburban culture. His artistic versatility has put him in contact with various exponents of the national scene, moving naturally among different artistic languages throughout a career spanning more than three decades.
