Redeeming features such as rock..s protest and rebellion and the samba..s joy, appears a new style of Samba-Rock!
Inspired by a music ideology arose more than 50 years ago which still survives in the main Brazilian cities, Thiago believes that the Samba-Rock is the “legitimate brazilian underground scene” that is currently in major cities in the world.

Lançando tendência neste estilo musical, surge o paulista quase gaúcho Thiago Corrêa. Figurinha carimbada no mercado publicitário, Thiago misturou o balanço de Jorge Ben, a inteligência das letras de Chico Buarque com a atitude do bom e velho Rock n..Roll para recriar o estilo Samba-Rock.
Aos 8 anos começou seus estudos musicais no Projeto Prelúdio, onde se especializou em Violão Clássico. Desde então começou a compor para festivais e artistas. Em 2000 entrou para o meio publicitário onde desenvolveu suas habilidades de compositor, locutor, cantor e arranjador musical. Em novembro de 2007 começou a gravação de seu primeiro CD: A Grande Preocupação. Álbum que em pouco tempo já está dando o que falar.

Entre as músicas mais conhecidas estão Amy Winehouse com Rehab, Crazy Litle Thing Called Love do Queen, O Tema de Os Simpsons, Fergalicious da Fergie, Oompa Loompa, Unchain My Heart de Ray Charles, entre outras...
