Early Life and Education

Renato Alves Menezes Barreto is now 32 years old; he was born on September 1, 1993, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He was later brought up in Minas Gerais which taught him the rich musical and cultural traditions in Brazil.

Personal Life

Froid is known to maintain relative privacy around personal life in interviews, focusing his public persona on music and artistic expression rather than relationship disclosures. However, it is known that he has two children, a son and a daughter.

Career

Froid’s musical career began in around 2011 or 2012 when he co-founded the hip-hop collective Um Barril de Rap alongside partners Sampa and Yank; later Disstinto joined the group.

While part of Um Barril de Rap, Froid participated in freestyle rap battles such as “Batalha do Neurônio” and “Batalha do Museu,” held at the Museu Nacional da República in Brasília. These events helped him gain visibility within Brazil’s underground rap circuit.

In 2017, the group effectively dissolved with the departure of Yank, and Froid began focusing more intensively on a solo career. In December 2017 he released his first solo album, O Pior Disco do Ano (“The Worst Album of the Year”). The provocative title was intended to challenge listeners to judge for themselves.

Following that, his solo discography expanded: Teoria do Ciclo da Água (2018), Sol (with Cynthia Luz, 2019), Oxigênio (Corona Disco) (2020), Gado (2022), Mr. Ego (2023) and O Queridinho de Deus (2024).

His songs “SK8 do Matheus” (with Rodrigo Cartier) was certified gold, and “Lamentável, Pt. III” (with Cynthia Luz) received double platinum status.

Over his career he has also collaborated with collectives and initiatives such as Pineapple Storm in songs like Poesia Acústica #4 – Todo Mundo Odeia Acústico, Poetas no Topo – Renascimento, Poesia Acústica Paris, among others.

He has performed at festivals such as João Rock and held tours across Brazil, building his live presence. In 2017 he stirred controversy when he publicly declared belief in a flat Earth and claimed NASA lied—remarks that drew media attention and debate.

His stage name “Froid” is a modified homage to the thinker Sigmund Freud. He adapted the name to Portuguese phonetics and spelling, shifting “Freud” to “Froid.” He relocated to Brasília, particularly after the birth of his child, according to some sources.
