Pedro Trocades, a name synonymous with ingenuity, was born on the 11th of March, 1991, in the enchanting city of Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His unwavering passion for arts and creativity traces its roots back to his background as a talented dancer and performer. A move to the Azores Islands, Portugal in 2002 allowed him to further explore his artistic prowess, where he immersed himself in ballet, hip hop, and drama during his school days.

Distinguished as the older brother of his siblings, Pedro carries within him a unique perspective. While his siblings affectionately refer to him as the favourite son, Pedro playfully embraces the title of the “black sheep.” He has always possessed an enchanting magnetism distinct from the norms of the ordinary world. Sports never captivated his heart; instead, his soul danced to the rhythm of Pop Music and Divas. Even as a child, his plays aimed to recreate the magical essence of the music videos he adored.
