A vocal harmony expert and multi-instrumentalist, Pedro Rui Von is an awarded songwriter and lyricist. Former lead singer on folk-rock duo Devonts, Rui Von now kicks off a solo project in order to experiment new sounds, mixing genres such as baroque pop, punk-rock and lo-fi.
With a sensitive perception of society and oneself, his lyrics talk about both inner and outer concerns of our times, such as angst and inequality, but often in a sarcastic way.
The ability to combine such deep subjects with humor has been one of his main features as a lyricist. His single “Impressão Sua”, released with his former band Devonts, has been awarded three times in different national song festivals in Brazil and stood out for its bitter statements about police violence combined with a catchy country-folk ballad musical structure.
