MC Koringa recalls making music on a PlayStation One

Without money for a computer, MC Koringa used a PlayStation One and “MTV Music Generator” to produce his early beats in the 2000s.In a recent video, the Brazilian funk artist revealed that the console served as his first studio and creative outlet. “Many people were curious about how I made music on the PlayStation. While browsing my old posts, I found a 2020 video showing how I did it,” he said.Koringa recalled the struggles and improvisation that marked the start of his career. “It brings back memories of when everything began. It’s been 20 years. If Kléber from Praça do Carmo hadn’t sold me that console, I probably wouldn’t have bought one, because my priority was my daughter Thamyris, who had just been born.”He also mentioned his friend Barbudo, who sold him CDs on credit. “If it weren’t for him selling the discs the way he did, I might never have discovered the game that brought me closer to making music.”The video shows Koringa crafting beats and melodies directly on the console — a creative workaround that shaped his musical identity. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUMIbKfEqln/?igsh=a25iYTlqdXJqOHVv Photo: Press Release
