Before beginning a prestigious solo career in 1994 he was already known for being a founding member of bands TNT and Os Cascavelletes, both pioneers of the Rio Grande do Sul rock scene in the mid- to late 1980s/early 1990s.
After his second departure from TNT, Basso began to perform solo, under the moniker "Woody Apple". It wasn't until 1995 when he adopted the stage name he became famous for, Júpiter Maçã, and formed the very short-lived project Os Pereiras Azuiz alongside Ubirajara Guimarães, Rogério Campos and Luiz Wilfrido. In 1997 he signed with independent label Antídoto to release his first solo full-length album, A Sétima Efervescência; with a heavily psychedelic and experimental sonority comparable to Pink Floyd's 1967 debut The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the album was critically acclaimed at the time of its release and in 2007 was ranked 96th at Rolling Stone Brasil's list of 100 Greatest Brazilian Music Records.
Its follow-up from 1999, Plastic Soda, unlike its predecessor, was fully sung in English; to reflect this, Basso signed the album as Jupiter Apple. It was characterized by an increase in the experimental elements already present in A Sétima Efervescência, mixing psychedelic rock with bossa nova and jazz. Even though it also had a good reception, critics considered it a very hard album to listen to. After the album's release Basso temporarily moved to England, returning to Brazil in 2002.
Hisscivilization, his third album, was released soon afterwards, and was his most ambitious and elaborate work, composed of 13 mostly instrumental tracks, the longest of which opens the album and is over 11 minutes long. Basso experimented more with electronic music elements in this album, what polarized critics and fans alike. In 2003 he moved to Europe once again – this time to Spain – alongside his then-domestic partner Bibiana "Bibmo" Morena to work on further material; after a 4-year hiatus, both returned to Brazil and he released alongside her the collaborative album Bitter. In the same year he released his fourth (and ultimately last) album, Uma Tarde na Fruteira.
Alongside Tatá Aeroplano, he wrote and directed the short film Apartment Jazz, which was broadcast for the first time by MTV in 2010. In 2015 he began work on a second short, Jane's Nightmare; a trailer was uploaded to YouTube on July 15, but the film was left unfinished. He also hosted the short-lived talk show Júpiter Maçã Show on MTV.
Known for his extravagant lifestyle, Basso struggled with alcoholism and drug abuse throughout most of his life, and was undergoing a treatment for cirrhosis on his later years. On December 21, 2015, he was found dead on the bathroom floor in his apartment; his cause of death was later revealed as being multiple organ failure. His wake was held at the Teatro Renascença in Porto Alegre, and he was buried the following day at the Cemitério Ecumênico João XXIII
