They know for two years in the cybernetic world. Art Sullivan knew that young Portuguese sang titles on its personal blog and interpreted the famous 'Petite demoiselle' there, he reminds himself that he cried when he heard him for the first time. He decided, at once, to bet on Hugo's career and to record an album.

The coming of Art Sullivan in Portugal, is this time, so that Hugo recordsa new version of the title "Tenho medo", with the fado's guitar of José Pimentel. That is why the Belgian singer, who counts with "small means, make discover to people this music, this language and this Portuguese culture which are worth being discovered "and "integrating the fado into a more popular music, less elitist."
During these almost two years, the 20-year-old young people, who lives to Povoa de Varzim, had neither singing lessons, nor on music theory, says his mentor, to maintain his natural original. "And it is my objective, that he continues to be Hugo. He has people who say to me that he should take lessons, but I find, that his talent is innate, this emotion in its voice", he explains.

They continue to exchange their impressions, essentially, via the electronics, the singer writes melodies and he send models, Hugo writes the words. Already, the first scene of the young , he occurred to Povoa de Varzim, in front of 7500 persons. They shared the scene and according to the top of the bill, he was very good. "The public enormously loved us and Hugo very well went out there. Perceiving , that even on scene, he has manages to create a symbiosis with the public."

Art Sullivan made an exception for this young that it considers as wonder, which rarely made shows. He so liked these way of seeing things the "nostalgic glances" of the spectators, that he is going to accompany Hugo, in a small digression, next year. He has already 30 shows in the agenda in Portugal and in French-speaking countries. Hugo, who trembled with fear before rising on stage, is now "impatient". Hugo is an exception in the life of the musician, who never dedicated himself to this way of launching a new talent. "It is a motivation for me, obliging me to continue to advance" he underlines. Maybe also it is due to the big passion which he feeds for Portugal. He comes very frequently and he likes the country, particularly the zone of Cascais. "I was always received and I always keep in memory the extreme kindness and the simplicity of the Portuguese, I feel a big emotion every time I come here". As long as he wants that his ashes are scattered here: "I have already organized everything to spend my eternity in Portugal. I want that my ashes are scattered in the Portuguese coast, in the Atlantic Ocean", he says, adding "that most later, will be best".
