Vitão
UMG Brasil
Pattricia Britto, Manager, Artist & Label Relations Brazil, says: “When I heard Vitão for the first time I knew he was going to be a star. He has the talent, charisma, attitude, and determination necessary to bring him to the top.
“I couldn’t be happier about his selection for DSCVR ‘Artists To Watch’ 2020. Vitão’s sound is a mix of samba, funk and urban music which represents the Brazilian culture very well.
