Antonio Adriano: “I was born in northeastern Brazil, but I live in São Paulo, southeast region. I’ve studied film, photography, computing and graphic design. My hobby is mobile photography, I love meeting new people, traveling, drinking and dancing with friends, playing with my cat and in my free time I surf on the internet and check the social networks.”
Layana Leonardo: “I’m Northeastern, work in advertising, bohemian, addicted to Brazilian music, albums, playlists and parties. And in the midst of all this confusion, I always manage to have time to return to Aracaju, to see the family and enjoy all those that I miss.”

Describe your favorite picture:
This is the first photo we published to @brasilmostratuacapa! We already had the idea to start a sleeveface account with Brazilian music, so we chose one of our favorite singers and used a friend as a model, made a picture with our iPhone and started to create to concept. From the first moment people really liked it, motivated us, started to follow us and participated in the project.
What do you think of being a new artist in the Instagramers Gallery in Madrid?
“We are completely honored and happy with this opportunity, we created this profile to have fun and expand Brazilian music on social networks, but it now is a very serious project. We are exhibiting outside Brazil and at the Instagramers Gallery. It’s very rewarding to represent our country and making the world familiar with our music.”
