Singer and songwriter André Gustavo Braullu, now known artistically as Galli, represents a trajectory marked by reinvention and authenticity. At 30 years old, the artist, who has already been part of three country music duos, found his true identity in nostalgic pop and the digital universe, conquering an international audience and becoming a reference on the TikTok platform.
Galli’s career began under other names — Gustavo Ferrari and then Gustavo Lazzari — until 2020. Then he started using only Gustavo Galli to explain the transition from one name to a single name and, only in 2023, decided to adopt the name Galli, an anagram of his own name that also refers to his Italian origins. The change symbolized not only a new chapter, but a complete stylistic repositioning: from country music to nostalgic pop, inspired by old songs and movie themes.
With 85% of his audience made up of women and a large international following, Galli found a powerful showcase on TikTok. His live streams and performances won over loyal followers, who helped shape his new artistic phase. Recognition came with the LivePro label, making him the first male singer to receive this certification of excellence on the platform.
In addition to becoming a reference on TikTok, Galli has built important partnerships. One of them is with Ruby Music, initially his mentee and now his musical partner. Together, they created the song “Butterflies,” which evokes nostalgia and speaks of a love that never dies. He also assists her in the production of her first album, reinforcing his vocation as a mentor and collaborator.
The artist is also preparing a new album of original songs, scheduled for 2026, with six tracks that explore different emotional aspects, including Ashes (scheduled for release in January 2026), a melancholic pop rock song about pain and abandonment, and Until My Last Breath, which deals with the celebration of passionate love.
A multi-instrumentalist, Galli plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar, cajón, and bass, but prefers to leave keyboard instruments aside. His versatility reflects the constant search for new forms of musical expression.
For Galli, each song is a narrative that connects cultures and generations. His work inspires other artists and shows that reinvention is possible when talent, discipline, and closeness to the audience are combined.
With a strong presence on TikTok and ambitious projects underway, Galli is ready to consolidate his international career and transform his compositions into soundtracks that resonate beyond borders
