After five years of a career dedicated to funk, Jojo Todynho decided to diversify his repertoire. Recently released, his first pagode single, “De onde Eu Venho”, has already surpassed 400,000 views on You Tube. It’s a success, but the singer says it’s not a new career path. “I’m not migrating to another rhythm, I’m adding it. I didn’t change the focus, pagode, like funk, is a rhythm that is part of my history”, she says.
Another change-that-is-not-change concerns your professional name. Jordana Gleise de Jesus Menezes, 25, changed the “Todynho” that gave her fame to the surname Maronttinni in her networks and also in the clip. Although she has said in previous interviews that she was in trouble with a food giant over the company’s decades-old trademark use, F5 Jojo denied any changes. “I don’t want to change my name”, he just replied, by email.
The singer also denies that this is the beginning of an image change. If, until then, she had as one of her main characteristics the way she talked about sex without any embarrassment in the lyrics of her songs and in interviews, it is noticeable that she pulled the brakes. And, coincidence or not, she became a regular on Globo’s programs and received a job offer from Ana Maria Braga.
Jojo insists that nothing has changed. “There is no new image. I am a true woman who does not deny her origins or her history. I don’t regret anything, with the successes I won, with the mistakes I learned. Everything is the result of hard work, dedication, focus and determination”, he concludes. .
