Biography

Yago Oproprio, artistic name of Yago de Albuquerque Carvalho Barbosa, was born in São Paulo, on March 2, 1995. Raised in Cohab II, in the East Zone of the capital of São Paulo, he spent part of his childhood living in Caracas, Venezuela, which made him fluent in Spanish. Starting his trajectory in the independent scene, the artist built his own sound that transitions through branches such as rap, boom bap, trap, MPB, samba, and R&B, combining introspective and social lyrics with a strong melodic appeal.

Larger-scale recognition began to take shape in 2022 with the release of the single "Imprevisto", which featured the participation of Rô Rosa and instrumental production by Skeeter Beats. The track had a good reception among the public and specialized media outlets, paving the way for the next steps of his career in Brazilian urban music.

In 2024, Yago consolidated his projection with the release of his self-titled debut album, Oproprio. The work was widely acclaimed by prominent publications and yielded important nominations in industry awards, including nominations at the Latin Grammy and the Prêmio Multishow de Música Brasileira, where he competed in categories such as "Breakthrough of the Year" and "Urban Song of the Year" with the track "La Noche".
