KondZilla, whose real name is Konrad Dantas, is best known for directing and producing electronic funk music videos on his Canal KondZilla. Some of the music from his channel will also appear in the series.
Sintonia, which was created by Dantas in partnership with Guilherme Quintella and Felipe Braga and is being produced by Brazilian studio Losbragas
, follows three friends growing up in a poverty-stricken town outside of Sao Paulo in pursuit of big dreams. A trailer for the series — which is set to bow on Aug. 9 — dropped today.
