Biography

Nicolas Paolinelli Gino, known artistically as Sidoka, was born in Belo Horizonte on June 19, 1998. Having grown up in Aglomerado da Serra, the artist faced an intense routine of studies, jobs, and odd jobs in his youth before dedicating himself fully to music, even using the pseudonym Mike The Lowiez in his early steps on SoundCloud.

Sidoka's trajectory in national rap gained massive momentum after a performance where he caught the attention of rapper Djonga, which resulted in a collaboration on the track "UFA". From then on, the artist consolidated his name in Brazilian trap with widely acclaimed releases, such as the mixtape Dokaz and the album Doka Language, alongside hits like "Porsche" and the single "N Me Sinto Mal Mais".

Recognized for his authenticity in the urban scene, Sidoka expanded his artistic partnerships by collaborating with names like Chris MC and FBC. His relevance in the subgenre was crowned with important achievements, including the award in the "Trap in the scene" category at the 2021 MTV Millennial Awards.
