Son of broadcaster Magidiel Lopes de Souza and Maria das Mercês Lima de Souza, was the oldest of five siblings. His father wrote romantic poems and read them during nocturne broadcasting programs that he broadcast in the AM radios Caturité and Cariri. Sérgio Lopes lost his parents prematurely, for his mother died from cancer at the age of thirty five and his father died in 1998, at the age of forty six.
