History

Kauan began singing with his father at church in Itapuranga, Goiás (central Brazil). His mother took him to participate in contests. When Kauan was 10 years old, he released a CD of four Sertanejas songs which he had interpreted. At the age of 15, Kauan recorded another solo album. He visited the United States and returned to form a duo with his brother, Matheus, who at the time was singing and composing.

In 2012, the brothers released their first album Paraquedas. They funded the album's production by selling the family car. Their second album, Intensamente Hoje, was certified platinum.[6] The brothers collaborated with the singer Anitta on the single "Ao Vivo e a Cores", which won a gold record award and has been viewed more than 157 million times online.[7] The duo was nominated for the Multishow Brazilian Music Award in the experiment category,[8] for the Internet trophy as best duo by the Brazilian TV channel SBT,[9] and for the Nick Teen Choice Awards.[10]
