Early years

Lucenzo was born in Bordeaux, Aquitaine, to Portuguese parents with origins in the village of Vilas Boas, Bragança. He began his career in hip-hop bands such as Sol da Noite and Les Portuguais de Bordeaux in 1998, and recorded his first album, which was never marketed due to financial reasons. In 2006, he released "Portugal é Nossa Terra" with DJ Lusitano, and thus he became popular in Portuguese music.

It was followed in 2009 by "Dame reggaeton". But it was with his bilingual English/Portuguese dance hit "Vem Dançar Kuduro" in collaboration with Big Ali produced by Lucenzo. It was a Top 40 hit in Switzerland, reaching #31. An alternative Spanish version by Don Omar with Lucenzo was released on 15 August 2010, entitled "Danza Kuduro". The accompanying music video was released on 17 August 2010. It is also featured on Don Omar's compilation album Meet the Orphans.
On July 1, 2015, Lucenzo released a new song "Vida Louca" in Portuguese and reserved to the Lusophone marker. It was part of a series of compilations VIDISCO and available on iTunes Portugal.
