Interview
How did you become so involved in the Brazilian Phonk sound?
I began making Phonk late 2022 and after some time I drifted into experimenting more with the genre. I came across a Brazilian funk song from a friend and felt like the sound had big potential. That’s when I came up with Brazilian Phonk which wasn’t done before. After that it just spiraled upwards and now the Brazilian sound has become a big trend amongst other producers and consumers.
How did you end up collaborating with DJ Paul, Shiloh Dynasty, Creeds, and Sadfriendd?
That’s all thanks to my team, they made it possible for me to collab with all of these artists as well as their teams liking my sound.
When did you know your music was truly going viral?
It was when Brazilian Phonk Mano wouldn’t stop appearing on my For You Page on TikTok. That is when I knew that it was truly going viral.
When did you first learn of Phonk?
I’ve known of Phonk for years but the new, modern sound which became big on TikTok in the last 2 years I knew from TikTok. I wasn’t a big fan of it at the time, but it grew on me when I started producing Phonk myself.
What do you think makes your sound unique?
I love experimenting with sounds and doing what could be out of the ordinary which kinda made it harder for me to get noticed by other labels. I don’t think Brazilian Phonk Mano would have been accepted by any other labels than Aurorian Records and Void of Phonk at the time. But I’m glad I stuck with my own sound because it came through.
