Jorge studied law school and Matheus agronomy. Each of them started singing sertaneja songs individually, and their careers met in 2005. They started performing in bars and concert halls in Goiás regions. In 2007, they released their first album produced by a record company Universal Music called Jorge & Mateus ao Vivo em Goiânia, a live concert with accompanying DVD. The song "Pode Chorar" became greatly celebrated and awarded Gold Record by ABPD, after having sold more than 100,000 paid downloads in Brazil. It was followed by "De tanto te querer" that was used in the soundtrack of the soap opera A Favorita, da Rede Globo.

In 2009, the duo released a second album titled O Mundo é Tão Pequeno, again a live album and accompanying double DVD and in 2010 Ao Vivo Sem Cortes and Aí Já Era.[1]

In 2015, their album Os Anjos Cantam was nominated for the 16th Latin Grammy Awards in the Best Sertaneja Music Album category.[2]
