About Fábio Januário
A professional artist based in Sintra, Fábio Krayze is known for his crazy energy and the big smile he always brings to the stage. He was born in Angola (1988) where he learned the first steps of kuduro on the streets with his brothers and friends. He was only 13 when he arrived in Portugal and began a self-taught career that included training in various areas, from ballet to jazz and ballroom dancing. But it's kuduro and hip hop that characterise his work.
He has performed with groups such as Buraka Som Sistema at NOS Alive Festival. In 2014 and 2016 he was an entertainer on the Yorn / Vodafone Stage at Rock in Rio Lisboa. He was a finalist on the TV show "So You Think You Can Dance" and a semi-finalist on the show "Portugal Got Talent" with the group Funkymonkeyz. He was a judge in the Vodafone / Yorn dance competition and choreographed for TVI's "Let's Dance" programme. He has taught many workshops in Portugal, as well as in France, Hungary, Switzerland, Slovakia and Belgium.
