The song’s debut coincides with its first performance at the Planeta Atlântida festival, where it shares the stage with renowned artists such as Alok, Oruam with TZ da Coronel and 30PRAUM with Matuê, Teto & Wiu . To further increase expectations, the trapper released a visualizer that promises to immerse the public in the mysterious atmosphere of the song. Musical production is handled by the renowned Celo1St.
Jackdi , who rose to prominence after participating in the reality show ‘Casa da Barra’, led by influencer Carlinhos Maia, reveals that he is excited about his plans for the year. With more than 100 thousand listeners on Spotify in 2023 and hits like “Veneno” surpassing 700 thousand streams , the artist is determined to offer quality and innovation in his music and performance throughout this year.
What was the experience like going on stage at the Planeta Atlântida festival for the first time and sharing the stage with renowned artists like David Kneip?
It was my first experience at the Planeta Atlântida Festival. I was invited to participate in David Kneip’s show and I was able to sing Carta X which hit the platforms that day. It was a good experience.
What is the story behind the song “Carta X” and how does it relate to the visualizer that accompanies the release?
“Letter X” is a hidden message for a girl and describes situations and feelings that are part of a relationship. But there is an icing on the cake, that is, an Easter egg that was left at the end of the “Mystery” video, my last video.
What can fans expect from the new single in terms of musical style and message conveyed?
The song comes in the style that I like, which is trap , it has a certain mystery and it was written during the pandemic, but only now, my team and I thought it was time to release it.
What was it like working with renowned producer Celo1St on the musical production of “Carta X”?
Very good! Celo, in addition to being a renowned producer, is an incredible person. The partnership worked so well that we have already made other sounds together. Wait!
What are your goals and expectations for this new release compared to your previous work?
Whenever a single is released, expectations are at an all-time high. I dedicate myself so that the best sound reaches the fans and my audience. I try not to make comparisons between one single and another because the moments and situations for composing each song are always different.
How did participating in the reality show ‘Casa da Barra’ influence your career and musical style?
I had the opportunity to show my work to those who were at ‘Casa da Barra’ and I was happy with the feedback I heard. But the reality show also served as a moment of learning as I listened to other musical styles, such as forró, and this helped me expand my creativity in an interesting way.
In addition to the release of “Carta X”, what are your plans and projects for 2024?
I can’t give many details yet, but you can expect a more mature Jackdi , with new ideas and focusing on the Brazilian mainstream . We still have another month of work with Carta X, which is performing very well on the platforms and after that there are several new features on the way.
What is the creative process behind your music like and how do you seek to differentiate yourself in the music scene?
I always try to do something that I feel comfortable with. I also put a lot of effort into creating different lyrics and melodies. I’m lucky enough to have the help of my producer, Vieira, to keep the vibe rolling in the studio. As a difference, I try to bring different ideas to the lyrics of Brazilian trap , I deliver well-made storytelling to my clips and viewers .
How do you see the role of music in your life and in the lives of your fans, especially in challenging times like the ones we are currently experiencing?
Music has always been therapy for me and I believe it is for many people. I try, through my lyrics and melodies, to convey my style of life and thoughts. And always transmit good energy and good moments.
