As a youth presenter
Duarte Júnior was born on 15 September 1986 in Rio de Janeiro. He moved to São Luís, the capital of the state of Maranhão, where he began his academic and professional life. His parents, Hildélis Duarte and Edna Mazoro, got married in São Luís in 1986 at Igreja de São João Batista on the same road that Duarte Júnior was baptised.
From 2002 to 2004, Duarte Júnior was part of the cast on the local children's program Bianca & Cia, which was presented by his youngest sister, Bruna Bianca Duarte. On the program, he played the role of Choquito, later renamed Xoquitox.[6][7][8] The character followed the mold of Chiquinho, played by Edílson Oliveira on programs hosted by Eliana.
Duarte Júnior recorded three tracks on Bianca's first studio album, in the voice of Xoquitox and in his own voice. In response to a Twitter user on his account, he said that he had never been embarrassed playing the character, saying that the money made from the character allowed him to pursue his studies.[9]
