André Ramiro

André Ramiro was born in 1981 in a poor neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. Like many kids and young people from poor communities, his first experience with employment included carrying grocery, selling candies and sweets, up to the day in which he found a job as doorman for a movie theatre in an exclusive neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. He also developed his career as a rapper and honed his skills by participating in rhyme battles and musical challenges. In one of those music battles, he met João Velho, the actor who informed him of the auditions for ELITE SQUAD.

His performance in the film brought much attention but he never left aside his musical talents. In 2008, André will release his first CD, which was entirely composed by him called “As Crônicas de Um Rato Careta.”
