ABOUT EGO KILL TALENT:
São PauloBrazil-based band Ego Kill Talent, who formed in 2014, might be one of the most accomplished “new” artists you’ve never heard of. By fusing heavy riffing with unforgettable hooks and tight songcraft, their music has been streamed over 40 million times as of 2020.
But that’s not all!
Four of the five band members quickly trade instruments amongst themselves mid-performance, making for a thrilling spectacle of a performance. They are also incredibly deft and adept players — they are a true “band’s band.”

Ego Kill Talent have also been fortunate to tour with The Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, System of a Down, Shinedown, and more.
