Born in Medianeira, Paraná, Michel Teló grew up in Campo Grande and began his career in sertanejo groups, among them Tradição. In 2009, he went solo with Balada Sertaneja; two years later, Na Balada took “Ai Se Eu Te Pego” onto charts in Brazil and abroad. From 2014, he hosted the project Bem Sertanejo, devoted to the genre’s history, and released records and specials with classic sertanejo repertoire.
