Aggro Santos

Yuri Santos [1] known by his stage name Aggro Santos, is a Brazilian born, British rap vocalist. He first rose to fame in early 2010 when his debut single: Candy was released, featuring vocals from ex-Pussycat Doll member, Kimberly Wyatt.

History

Early career

Santos was born in São Paulo, Brazil and subsequently moved to Balham, South London. He signed with Gary Barlow's new record label, Future Records in 2009 and has released two videos since becoming signed: 'Rhythm N Flow' and 'Candy'

Before being signed he released a video called Free Yard which was released to Channel U in 2008. The song was taken from Santos' first mixtape 'Aggro Culture' and was the number one video on Channel U for 18 weeks. He is currently working on a series of adverts for Spotify, which are considered incredibly irritating even by Spotify advertisment standards. Listeners have reported feelings of intense anger, and loathing of his ridiculous voice.

2010: Candy

Candy is Aggro Santos' first official single and is released on 2 May 2010. It features Kimberly Wyatt ex The Pussycat Dolls and is produced by Rob Orton. The song has been added to Radio 1 and MTV Base's playlists.
