Early life

Born and raised in Osasco by his father Paulo, Dantas worked in concert flyer distribution jobs, open markets and a registry office to help his father. His parents were told he would need special health care once he was 6 months old due to complications during the pregnancy. He was raised in normal conditions with no special health needs, considered by the doctors as a miracle. At the age of 16, Dantas started to write his first songs.

Career

Guimê started his career in 2009, after being discovered by his manager while distributing flyers. After his first smash hit "Tá Patrão", Guimê got an average of 40 shows a month; after his second single 'Plaque de 100', he was considered a popular artist. His third single was "Na Pista Eu Arraso" and the fourth was "País do Futebol". País do Futebol was the unofficial soccer anthem for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and was featured on several websites around the world. País do Futebol placed first in every chart in Brazil and on iTunes. In 2014 Guime released his newest single, "Brazil We Flexing", featuring Soulja Boy. It was first official international feature by Guime. Maximo, the rights holder, says it is the first of at least seven big collaborations with international artists to be released between 2014 and 2015. Guime has the biggest numbers in the history of Brazilian YouTube in the Music category, with 4 music videos resulting in a combined 270 million views on his official channel. He was the first artist to place 3 singles in a row with more than 40 million views and with "País do Futebol" became the first to reach 1 million views on a music video in one day. All videos are held by Maximo YouTube Network, belonging to Maximo Music Label.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9][10]
