WHO IS ELLPUTO AND WHAT’S HIS STORY?
Geobek Records multi- award winning music producer,
Ellputo (real name Etivaldo Victorino) was born on the 8th of July
1988 and began his career in 2001 when he was 11 years old. Besides being a
producer, this young mastermind is the founder of one of the most successful
production houses in Mozambique, Sameblood
Productions that he established in 2003 in partnership with his brother,
Mic- B and hip hop artist, Laylizzy.
HIS JOURNEY IN MUSIC..
.
Ellputo produced his first hit, “Dinomite esta com gang” in
2003 which became the ultimate track that changed the hip hop scenario in
Mozambique and his production house, Sameblood
Productions is responsible for the biggest hip hop hits in Mozambique and
other Portuguese speaking countries. They established one of the best hip hop
groups, 360 Degrees and that very same year, he produced a mixtape for old
school rap artist, Suky “O Manicomio.”
The following year (2004), he worked with his old crew, 360 Degrees and
produced songs for Dynomite, Bala de Prata and Denny OG among many other
artists. In 2005, he produced 360 Degrees’ first album, “Selecção Nacional” which became a
classic and also produced Denny OG’s first and second album. Furthermore, he
went on to create “Dinheiro Limpo” (Clean
Money) with hip hop artist, Lay low, now Laylizzy in 2010.
With his extensive experience in the music industry, he has worked with
numerous rap artists and local artists from other countries such as Lizha
James, Dama do Bling, Trio Fam, DJ Elex, Young Sixties, Edu, Lay low (now
Laylizzy), Hernani, Dice, Blanco, T- Rese, Dabo Boys and Simba to mention a
few. International artists that he has worked with include Vui Vui (Angola),
Sean Tizzle (Nigeria), Run Town (Nigeria), Uhuru and DJ Mbuso (South Africa). Some
of these artists have achieved awards with Ell Puto’s production.
What Ellputo touches turns into gold as he has quite a positive impact and
role that he upholds, more especially when it comes to music production and the
development of talent (producers and artists). His production house has a great
impact in the entertainment and music industry in Mozambique as it has given
birth to a number of successful artists, producers and DJs in the country;
namely DJ Alvin, New Joint, Hernani da Silva, Carmen Chaquice (who finished
second on a music reality TV show) and Laylizzy. They are currently grooming
