Guilherme Augusto Andrade—known as Gui Andrade—is a Rio de Janeiro–based creator, writer, and DJ. Trained as a journalist with an MBA in marketing, Gui has always gravitated to storytelling. He once began a book, in Portuguese, about everyday life while working as a rock DJ at a famed bar in Ipanema. It remains unpublished—for now—but the practice of sculpting scenes from ordinary moments never left him.

From ages nine to twelve Gui lived in England, an experience that shaped his taste and gave him fluent English. From the age of six to seven he watched Clue Club. The afternoons with his father meant Columbo, where the culprit is known and the pleasure is watching how the truth is proven. Later came Agatha Christie, Poirot, Miss Marple, Inspector Morse, Lewis, and Endeavour—an unbroken line of thoughtful mysteries focused on human nature rather than spectacle.

When AI tools made animated filmmaking achievable for solo creators, a light switched on: he could finally produce his own short animations. Gui embraces animation as a precise instrument for fantastic storytelling—the best way, he feels, to place an elegant idea on screen.

Today he builds Clues and Alibis alone—writing, designing, and assembling each episode with the aid of AI. His narrative is quite vast. One of the things he likes to write about is small and exacting: intimate problems, domestic settings, and twists that feel inevitable in hindsight. That ethos is clear in episodes such as “The Secret of the Plaisir d'Or” and “The Fine Taste of Victory.”

Beyond the channel, Gui has been a DJ since 2007 and shares a home with a cockatiel named Dourado. He doesn’t take himself too seriously—perhaps his finest professional asset. Success, for now, means monetizing the YouTube channel to cover production costs while the audience grows.
