Biography.
Sutter was born in Petrópolis on June 13, 1979, and began his career as an entertainer at "churrascarias" singing covers of famous songs. In 1999 he founded Hermes & Renato alongside his friends Marco Antônio Alves, Fausto Fanti, Adriano Pereira and Felipe Torres; known for their off-color humor, frequently reliant on pop culture references, they amassed a strong cult following throughout the late 1990s/early to mid-2000s during their tenure on MTV Brasil. Sutter was famous for playing, among others, Detonator, the lead singer of comedy band Massacration, which would eventually spawn off to release their own albums and singles. When Hermes & Renato parted ways with MTV to join RecordTV in 2010, changing their name to "Banana Mecânica", Sutter stayed with the group until 2012, when he left to re-join MTV on his own; there he would host the rock-oriented variety show "Rocka Rolla" and the satirical newscast "Furo MTV". When MTV Brasil went defunct in 2013, he founded alongside Marcelo Adnet and Tatá Werneck the YouTube channel Amada Foca, and got his own radio talk show, "Bem que se Kiss", in 2014, broadcast by Kiss FM.
In 2012 Sutter put Massacration on hold to form another musical project based around his "Detonator" persona, Detonator e as Musas do Metal; their debut album, the rock opera "", came out in 2014 and counts with guest appearances by Alexandre Frota as the narrator, musicians João Gordo, Rafael Bittencourt, Felipe Andreoli and Ricardo Confessori, and voice actor Gilberto Baroli. In 2013 he published through Edições Ideal the book "A Bíblia do Heavy Metal – O Antigo Testamento", co-authored alongside Rafael Rosa. In 2015 he released the extended play "DetonaThor" to promote the MOBA video game "Smite", for which he voiced Thor in its Portuguese dub. In 2017 he provided narration for another MOBA video game, "Heavy Metal Machines". On December 18, 2020, his second full-length release with Detonator e as Musas do Metal, the Christmas album "Metal Metalino", came out unannounced, featuring parodies of Christmas carols with a heavy metal twist.
He also served as vocalist of cover band The Soundtrackers, and released solo albums under his true name of Bruno Sutter, the first of which having its production crowdfunded via a successful Kickante campaign; it reached R$42,005.00, surpassing its originally intended goal of R$40,000.00. In 2016 he returned to perform with Massacration, but is no longer an official member of Hermes & Renato.
In 2015 he was chosen by voice actor Wendel Bezerra to perform the Brazilian Portuguese version of "Dragon Ball Super"s third ending song, "Usubeni", originally by Lacco Tower. From 2018 to 2019 he was a judge for RecordTV's singing competition "Canta Comigo", returning to its preteen-oriented spin-off "Canta Comigo Teen", which premiered in 2020.
Personal life.
From 2014 to 2019 Sutter was engaged to actress, television presenter and digital influencer Nyvi Estephan, twelve years his younger. They met while shooting Hermes & Renato sketches for MTV Brasil, and Estephan has made countless cameos throughout the show's original 1999–2010 run. Minor controversy arose when Estephan began dating YouTuber Felipe Castanhari soon after their engagement was terminated, making their relationship official on June 12, 2020.
He was previously married to veterinarian Adriane Cristina Sutter.
