Worship minister Ricardo Batista, from Lagoinha Matriz Baptist Church, released his first song on digital platforms, marking a new phase in his career in the gospel world.
Born in Congonhas, Minas Gerais, Ricardo had contact with music from an early age, taking singing, guitar, cello, percussion, acoustic guitar and keyboard lessons. Despite this early start, he says that his calling was confirmed at the age of 13, when he started posting videos and live broadcasts on Facebook.
In 2020, the singer started releasing covers on his YouTube channel, seeking to convey his message and explore his passion for music, even with limited resources. In 2023, after moving to Belo Horizonte, he dedicated himself to composing three songs that would start an album.
Ricardo recognizes that challenges were constant during this journey, but emphasizes that faith and persistence were fundamental to overcoming difficulties. Raised in the Assembleia de Deus Missão Church, he says that his trajectory is largely due to the guidance he believes he received from God.
With this release, the artist officially launches his career in the gospel scene, presenting a project that reflects both his musical background and the challenges and achievements throughout his journey.
