Learn about the trajectory of Gusttavo Lima, who was arrested this Monday

The singer Gustavo Lima 35, had his arrest ordered by the Justice of Pernambuco, this Monday (20). Despite receiving the title of “Ambassador of the Barretos Peão Festival” for two consecutive years and having released great hits, the artist had a humble beginning and even lived in a mud house.

In an interview with Domingo Show, a program on TV Record, the singer recalled his childhood and said that his father planted rice. “It was a very difficult childhood, but very happy at the same time. […] It was a simple life, but with a lot of truth”, he said at the time. At the age of nine, he left home to pursue his career alongside his brothers with whom he formed a band.

Baptized as Nivaldo Batista Lima, the singer adopted his stage name when he was part of the duo Gusttavo and Alessandro, and in 2010 he recorded his first CD and DVD “Inventor dos Amores”, with 22 songs, 16 of which are his own compositions. At the beginning of his career, he also received support from other artists, such as singer Zezé Di Camargo.

In 2012, after the release of his third project, he became famous with “Gatinha Assanhada”, which was even included on the soundtrack of a soap opera and became known outside of Brazil. In the same year, he went to the United States, where he went on his first international tour.

Two years later, Gusttavo Lima realized one of his biggest dreams: recording an acoustic DVD featuring classics of country music. In the project, called “Buteco do Gusttavo Lima”, the musician sang alongside some of his greatest idols: his own father, Seu Alcino, the duos Jorge & Mateus, Bruno & Marrone, Zezé di Camargo & Luciano and Leonardo.

In 2017, the artist received the title of “Ambassador of the Barretos Cowboy Festival” and in 2018, the feat was repeated. He would also have been responsible for the title in 2020, an edition that did not take place due to the pandemic caused by Covid-19. His last performance at the event, however, took place in 2022.

In 2018, he created the Buteco Goiânia Festival, whose goal is to bring together great hits of sertanejo music: from university to viola music. To this end, Gusttavo Lima brings in guests to participate in the many hours of shows — which have already exceeded the seven-hour mark.

This month, the voice of “Balada”, “Bloqueado” and “Na Hora de Amar” celebrated his 35th birthday in Mykonos, island in Greece . In photos and videos published on his social media and those of his wife, actress Andressa Suita, 36, the artist appeared enjoying the trip on a yacht that has daily rates of up to R$1 million.

Before the arrest warrant, the country singer was at the Jaguariúna Rodeo, in the interior of São Paulo, in the early hours of this Saturday (21). On Sunday (22), he was present at Rock in Rio 2024 and even recorded excerpts of Akon’s performance.
