Cansei de Ser Sexy

His most famous band was the indie-electro project Cansei de Ser Sexy. In 2003, Adriano formed the group with some friends as a joke. He wrote many of their songs, played the drums and produced the band, besides eventually playing bass, guitar and singing. Cansei de Ser Sexy was signed to indie label Sub Pop in the beginning of 2006 to release their first international album, and have toured the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada extensively, opening for acts including Ladytron, Klaxons, Gwen Stefani and playing on the "Mojave" stage at Coachella 2007.

In April, 2012, several tracks were released from Madrid, Cintra's latest musical project. [7]In 2014, he released the solo album Animal, which he followed up the next year with Adriano Cintra Is Dead and in 2017 with the self-released Nine Times. [8]
