KondZilla will be one of the speakers at Casa São Paulo, a SP Government space, at South By Southwest (SXSW), in Austin, in the United States, this year. The businessman is part of the program for March 10th, “Favela Day”, an experience space to highlight the importance of giving communities a leading role in shaping cities and the future of society. The businessman revolutionized the Brazilian funk scene with his music videos and became a reference for the genre in the digital world.

At the event, the owner of the most popular YouTube channel in Latin America, today with almost 70 million subscribers, analyzes the connection between entrepreneurship, artistic expression and Brazil's destiny, with communities as its epicenter. KondZilla will bring its experience in the cultural scene and its impact, which transcends borders and helps shape the creative scene, especially peripheral, Brazilian.
