Background information
Born	(1981-01-21) January 21, 1981 (age 31) Medianeira, Paraná, Brazil
Genres	Sertanejo, pop
Occupations	Singer, songwriter
Years active	2009–present
Labels	Universal Music Brazil

Michel Teló (born January 21, 1981) is a Brazilian sertanejo singer-songwriter.^[1][2] Before his solo act, he was a lead singer in various bands, most notably Grupo Tradição. His biggest national and international hit is "Ai Se Eu Te Pego!," a number one in most European countries, Latin America, and the province of Quebec, Canada.

Beginnings[link]

From his early years, Teló has dedicated his life to music. His artistic career began in 1987 when, as a six-year-old, he made ​​his first solo performance in his school choir, singing a piece by Roberto Carlos and Erasmo Carlos. At 10, his musical talent blossomed when his father gave him an accordion. At the age of 12, upon encouragement by neighbors, school friends, and his brothers, he formed a young band for playing traditional music, which was called "Guri" and served to strengthen Teló taste in music in a professional organized manner. He was the band's lead singer and composer. Besides his love for the harmonica, Teló also took piano lessons for five years. He was also dancer and played the accordion, harmonica, and guitar.

In Grupo Tradição (1998–2008)[link]

In 1997, Teló was just 16 when he was invited to join the band Grupo Tradição, making part of the band for 11 years as lead vocals until 2008. His career as a singer took off as he sang the band's biggest hits, such as "Barquinho," "O Caldeirão," "Pra Sempre Minha Vida," "A Brasileira," and "Eu Quero Você." During such period of time, he was the band's front figure, conducting most of the interviews and promotions. According to Teló's former producer Wagner, he left without creating any enmity or hard feelings, as Teló made clear that he wanted to pursue a solo career. He was replaced by Guilherme Bertoldo, but the band had lost most of its appeal due to his departure and soon members began to quit the band, not having enough trust in the viability of the band without Teló.

During this time, he met and married a fan, a dentist named Ana Carolina Lago. After three years dating and another three married, the two legally divorced due to the stress of Teló's incessant touring schedule. Despite his public protestations that all was fine, Lago went public and revealed their official divorce on February 10, 2012. ^[3] he also plays magic cards
