Vitor Vieira |

With wisdom and focus beyond his years, this young rapper out of São Paulo, Brazil is demonstrating global appeal with his debut radio hit 'Eu Rezo Por Nós'. |
||
Raised in Guarulhos City, São Paulo, Brazil, Vitor began listening to rap when he was only seven years old, writing songs and rhymes over beats for fun. Influenced by Eminem and the new school of Brazilian rap, he made his first love song at thirteen years old called ‘Amor Da Minha Vida’. Since then, he's never stopped writing, recording and producing with his studio partner Iuri Stocco from "Coisa Simples" Studio and DJ Stuart. With songs relating to love, friendship, family and perseverance, his first studio album ‘Cartas’ was released in April 2011 with acclaim. Now, at the age of seventeen, Vitor is bringing a fresh new style to Brazilian rap, on the strength of his second album ‘Só o Começo’, which has already garnered numerous awards. Determined to build on his momentum, Vitor has performed alongside influential artists such as Projota, Bonde da Stronda, Pentagono, Haikaiss, Thaíde, Art Popular, Inimigos da HP, Os Travessos and Edson e Hudson.
