Gusttavo Lima | Biography and music
Born in 1989 in Brazil, Gusttavo Lima started in music at the age of 9, out of necessity, he wanted to help his parents who had few money, and out of passion, his dream was to sing sertaneja music (typical Brazilian genre).
At 18 he released his first album and soon after his ‘Balada‘ introduced him to the world. Gusttavo has a spectacular career, he keeps on giving concerts and making his music grow. This has been his life path
Chapter 1 | Singing for food
Nivaldo Lima Bautista was born in a humble home in the city of Presidente Olegário, Brazil. From an early age, he showed a great interest in music and even more in sertaneja (the most popular musical style in Brazil today, which originated in the 1920s in the Brazilian countryside).
- Gusttavo started singing with his father in the church choir and at the Folia de Reis festivities.
- Such was his passion for music during his childhood that he formed the group Trio Remelexo with his brothers.
- When he was only 9 years old, he decided to leave home to make some money for his family.
He started playing in bars, where he was paid only with food.
I sang in very small bars and many times, what they paid me was not enough for anything. Imagine, a bar with five tables, each one occupied by a couple, I would leave 15 reais a night and with that I couldn’t even pay for the gas, so I would barter for food, or in very cold times, for something to warm myself with.
Gusttavo was always determined to make a living out of music, so time went by and he kept on playing and playing. At the age of 16 he was earning enough with his shows to support his family.
- During that time, he learned how to play guitar, piano and drums all by himself 🎶
Why is he called Gusttavo Lima?
In his youth he formed a duo called Gusttavo & Alessandro with a friend. As he started to be know, when he began his solo career he decided to keep the name ‘Gusttavo‘ and add his real last name ‘Lima‘.
Chapter 2 | The beginning of his career and his great ‘Balada’
After coming on age in 2008, Gusttavo Lima decides to travel to the Brazilian city of Goiânia where he meets the duo Jorge & Mateus.
These recognized representatives of the sertaneja music decide to help him releasing a first record.
- In 2009, Gusttavo Lima releases his first album, a work of the same name that brought him great success.
The second song I recorded was ‘Rosas, Versos e Vinhos’. It was a wonderful song and got the first place in the music charts of a radio station. I cried with emotion

- After the good figures achieved with the first album, Gusttavo Lima releases Inventor dos Amores in 2010, a CD and DVD recorded live at Sol Music Hall.
- A little later, in 2011, the singer releases his second live CD and DVD, entitled Gusttavo Lima e Você. The album was recorded in front of 60,000 people during the Fenamilho festival.
- The concert lasted more than three hours and included Lima’s greatest hits, as well as 12 unreleased tracks.
Who would have told Lima that the song he disliked and refused to record would become the biggest hit of his career? We are talking about Balada, a song included in Gusttavo Lima e você.
- Lima’s great fear with this song was that there might be comparisons with another big hit of the moment, Ai Se Eu Te Pego, by Brazilian Michel Teló.
- Fortunately for Lima, taking the risk of recording something so different from his previous music was a great decision as Balada broke all barriers becoming a worldwide hit 🌎
Singing live is his strong point, thus, in 2012, he recorded a new live album called Ao Vivo em São Paulo. In this concert we could enjoy Gusttavo playing different instruments and sharing the stage with soccer players like Neymar, Eduardo Costa, William and Marcelo.
