Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, DJ MEME is best known as the top House DJ , and by far the most critically acclaimed and successful remixer/producer in Brazil.

He began to gain recognition for crossing boundaries early in his career by introducing underground club music to the pop scene. According to Billboard magazine, his 1996 remix of âESTOY AQUIâ by SHAKIRA made so much noise that it subsequently became her first worldwide club hit! The music industry quickly took notice and MEME began doing remixes for artists such as Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Dido, Desree, and Ricky Martin to name a few.
