Phabullo Rodrigues da Silva (born on November 1, 1994), known professionally as Pabllo Vittar, is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and drag queen. His first appearance on TV happened in 2014, on a Brazilian TV show, performing "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston. Later in 2015 he became famous in the media, due to the success of his music video "Open Bar", a Portuguese-language version of Major Lazer's song "Lean On" with original lyrics, produced by Bonde do Rolê and Omulu.[1] In less than four months, the video reached one million views on YouTube.[2] She also released an extended play with the same name, that used pop hits' instrumentals with new arrangements and lyrics.
On January 12, 2017, his debut studio album Vai Passar Mal was released. In the same month he released "Todo Dia" as the second single off of the album, which became notorious in Brazilian Carnival due to its lyrics. The third single "K.O." became a hit even bigger than its predecessor, effectively bringing Vittar to nationwide fame and success. Thus far, the song has over 256 million views on YouTube. The fourth single, "Corpo Sensual", was released on September 6, 2017.
In June 2017, Vittar became the most followed drag queen in the world on Instagram, surpassing RuPaul and Adore Delano.
Vittar has been featured in songs by international artists like Major Lazer's "Sua Cara", with fellow Brazilian singer Anitta. The music video was released on July 30, 2017[3] and as of now is on 10th place on the list of most viewed online videos in the first 24 hours, with 25 million views. The singer also appears on "I Got It", from Charli XCX's fourth mixtape Pop 2.
Early years
Born in a humble family in São Luís, Phabullo is a dizygotic twin and has an older sister. Phabullo spent part of his childhood and adolescence living in the cities of Santa Ines and Caxias, both in the interior of Maranhão, due to financial difficulties. He is the son of a nurse who was abandoned still pregnant by Phabullo's father, whose identity he never got to know.[4]
During his childhood, Phabullo fell victim to bullying due to his delicate gestures and his feminine voice, even getting physically assaulted with a plate of hot soup thrown over his face.[5][6] In addition, he attended ballet classes during this period.[7]
At the age of 13, Phabullo began singing by doing covers at family parties and school performances, as well as joining a choir from a Catholic church.[8][9] Soon after, he began to songwrite. Later, he decided to become a professional in the area, moving to São Paulo with his sister, where he worked in several places, such as snack bars and beauty salons. Soon after, he moved to Uberlândia along with his mother, who had recently married. At the time, being 15 years old, he assumed his homosexuality to his mother, although she was already suspicious; his sister already knew about his sexual orientation.[10]
"Pabllo Vittar is a boy. Who is girl. Who has no gender. Who is not afraid. Who prefers a thousand times to be on a stage than anywhere else in the world."
Phabullo on "Who is Pabllo Vittar?".[8]
He then began to go out for the night in Maranhão, to make friends, and to participate and be approved in a selection of singers in a house of shows, and even being a minor started performing his own songs and impersonating celebrities for a small fee, however it was not a professional job. At this time he was already dressed as a woman, but he did not identify himself as a drag queen; the first time that he did drag was at age 17 in Uberlândia, to divulge a party of his friend, delivering pamphlets at the door of a nightclub.[4][11] With time, he started performing in gay parades in diverse cities of Maranhão, becoming known by the state's LGBT community. At age 18, in Minas Gerais, Phabullo started participating in beauty contests in full drag, where he won some before beginning his professional career as a singer while adopting the stage name of "Pabllo Knowles", a homage to singer Beyoncé.[8] His first appearance as a drag queen occurred at the Belgrano nightclub, of producers Ian Hayashi and Leocádio Rezende (whom Phabullo would later call his "parents").[9][12]
Still in Minas Gerais, Phabullo took a university entrance exam by the Federal University of Uberlândia, where he was admitted to the full design course in 2013, but after some periods he dropped out of college due to his schedule of shows, which increased greatly due to the success of his music videos on the internet and his participation in the band of primetime television program Amor & Sexo.[13]
When it attracted attention from entrepreneurs in the entertainment field[10], Phabullo began his musical career professionally, performing in bars and concert halls in Uberlândia and cities of the region. In this period, Phabullo adopted the stage name of Pabllo Vittar.[14]
Artistry
Voice
Phabullo is a countertenor with 2.3 octaves of vocal extension already exhibited, spanning from flat E in the third octave (E♭3) to G# in the fifth octave (G♯5).
"I think gender doesn't matter to me. If you write 'him,' I'll find it incredible, if you write 'her,' too. But when I get in drag... I won't stand in front of the mirror two hours putting on makeup for someone to call me 'he,' right? Call me 'she'! SHE is beautiful, SHE is a singer, SHE is a draaaaaag queen! I like to be called in the feminine."
In an interview for Veja magazine, Phabullo revealed that he chose a masculine stage name because he wanted to be truthful to the public, since he is not a transsexual. He only feels like a woman when he's on the stage as Pabllo Vittar, after that, he dresses as a boy.[15] During the same interview, Phabullo said the is "making music for humans."[{{{2}}}][16]
