Brazilian singer Pedro Sampaio will join Ricky Martin’s halftime show at Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens–Dallas Cowboys game in Brazil. The 28-year-old Rio de Janeiro native is set to perform in his hometown, with Martin headlining.
Sampaio began remixing songs on YouTube as a teenager and signed with Warner Music Brazil in 2018. His 2024 Latin Grammy nomination was as a featured artist on Anitta’s “Jorge Pra Lu,” not for his own work. The article reports more than 14 billion audio and video streams for him on Spotify.
His songs include “Jetski,” “Sequência Feiticeira” and “Escada do Prédio.” The article identifies “Sentadão” as his first major hit, saying it gained traction in Brazil and internationally in 2019. Sampaio said performing at Maracanã, near where he grew up, alongside Martin was a dream.
