They said funk wasn’t for people like him. Dornelles proved them wrong.

Born and raised in Olaria, Dornelles grew up hearing the beats of rebellion. “I always thought what funk artists sang back then was bold and brave. Singing about what society tries to hide, that’s what drew me in.”

During the pandemic, he sold sweets in his neighborhood to fund his first music video, the moment that changed everything.  Now, his music celebrates visibility and defies every rule about masculinity in funk.
