Biography

Arthus Fochi is the son of a Brazilian mother and a Paraguayan father, born in Rio de Janeiro. From an early age, he was immersed in a diverse musical environment: guaranias and polkas on his father's side, sambas and Italian music on his mother's. His passion for literature and music emerged in early adolescence when he began writing poetry and composing his first songs.
