Jhon Douglas from Rondônia in the Brazilian Amazon is a versatile artist who moves between music and the plastic and visual arts. Jhon’s career is marked by authenticity reflecting his self-taught journey that began on the streets as a skater and led him to explore various forms of artistic expression. In Lisbon since 2016, his impact on the city’s cultural scene is clear with performances on important Portuguese stages and festivals consolidating his position as one of the most active Brazilian artists on the Portuguese contemporary scene. The music arrived in 2017. Advocating that “the artist doesn’t bend over backwards to please you” since MATO, his first EP released in 2019, Jhon Douglas frees himself – and his audience – by stating that understanding what he does is not under his control. He joined the JungleBoys and released his first studio album in 2022 “Jhon Douglas JungleBoys & Maritacas”. Jhon Douglas only abandons the soft-spoken when singing and this characteristic is now repeated on his latest EP, entitled “Artista Chinelo” (April 2024). The project is a provocative satire sung in five acts.
