Born in Lobito, Benguela, Baptista created his first YouTube channel in 2017, where he made computer tutorial videos, even though he didn't master the subject.[2] Baptista lost the channel that same year.[1] On April 20, 2018, he created a new channel.[1] Inspired by the Mozambican YouTuber Marcelino, who had created a video identifying the main differences between Mozambique and Brazil, Baptista decided to publish a video about the differences between Angola and Brazil.[2] According to him, the Brazilian public started following him from 2019 onwards, when he began making content on the street, asking Angolans for their opinions about Brazilians.[1]
In 2020, his popularity increased after being invited to appear in a video by Brazilian YouTuber Orochinho, becoming "the representative YouTuber of Angola in Brazil".[2] According to Baptista, he did not achieve as much success producing videos for Angolans compared to when he started making videos for Brazilians.[1][2] Baptista considers Júlio Cocielo [pt], Whindersson Nunes, Lucas Fumba, Felipe Neto, Maicon Küster, and Orochinho as his biggest influences.[3] Amidst his popularity, he was noticed by Felipe Neto and the Flow Podcast, being invited by Igor 3K to record an episode. Subsequently, he received a one-year contract offer from the podcast, which Baptista accepted, moving from Angola to Brazil, to São Paulo.[2]
