Biography

Fabrício André Bernard Di Paolo, better known as Lord Vinheteiro or simply Vinheteiro, is a Brazilian pianist, audio engineer, and popular YouTuber born in São Paulo. He began his formal musical education at the age of eight, studying violin and piano before attending the Arts Institute of the São Paulo State University (UNESP). In addition to his primary instrument, he is proficient in bass, acoustic guitar, drums, accordion, and harpsichord, establishing a versatile multi-instrumentalist profile.

His internet career took off after he launched his YouTube channel in 2008, where he gained international recognition for performing piano covers of famous movie themes and television show soundtracks. Over the years, his content evolved to include discussions on music theory, piano techniques, and historical changes in musical composition, which even led to international performances in China. Alongside his online presence, he briefly participated as a cast member on the radio program Pânico on Jovem Pan FM between 2018 and 2020.

Despite his prominent career as a musical entertainer and producer, Vinheteiro's public presence has occasionally sparked controversy due to his outspoken commentary on contemporary genres and artists like MC Poze do Rodo and Anitta. His digital career and personal life continued to draw media attention, particularly following a major financial setback involving cryptocurrencies in late 2024. Through his extensive video catalog, he remains one of the most recognizable internet personalities associated with piano performance in Brazil.
