He is one of the founders and leaders of the Facção Central [1] [2] group, in which he was a vocalist and composer of all lyrics. [3] He left the group on March 18, 2013. Eduardo[4][5][6] influenced his musical career by his brother-in-law known as Equipado, who was his sister's boyfriend.[7][8][9] Eduardo lectures throughout Brazil and periodically visits the Casa Foundation.[10][11] Despite not having completed his elementary school, he encourages young people from the periphery to study in interviews, shows and lectures, saying that "having a diploma and being well informed is more audacious than carrying machine guns." In 2012, he launched A Guerra não Declarada na Visão de um Favelado, his first book.[12]

Eduardo (composer and performer) and Dum-Dum (performer) were born and grew up in favelas of São Paulo in an environment where social violence, criminality, drug trafficking and drug addiction were rampant. This violent past became a source of inspiration to Eduardo's political lyrics.[13]

Still in 1989, he founded rap group Facção Central together with Nego (currently known as Rapper Mag)[14] and Jurandir, the last two members left the group, while Garga and Dum-Dum joined Eduardo and started the group's activities.[14] He remained as leader and main composer of the group's lyrics until March 18, 2013, when Eduardo officially communicated in a video that was posted on Youtube announcing his departure from the group due to some personal disagreements and ideological differences.[14]

Recently he released a new single;[14] "Conzpirasom" that was composed by rappers Kaskão (Trilha Sonora do Gueto) and by the writer Ferréz, in partnership with the designer and illustrator Alexandre De Maio.[14]

On December 20, 2014 he announced his pre-release album A Fantástica Fábrica de Cadáver[15] with the participation of artists such as Yzalú, A286, Dexter and Trilha Sonora do Gueto.[15]
