Victor Thiago Bianchi was born in São Paulo on June 18, 1979. The son of MPB singer Maria Odette Bianchi and drummer João Vitto Colunna, he grew up immersed in the Brazilian musical environment, having contact with major names in MPB and bossa nova. His musical career started early when he formed his first band, Stonehenge, in 1991. Later, he honed his vocal techniques with his mother and other renowned singing teachers. In 1997, he founded the heavy metal band Karma, which released acclaimed albums such as "Inside the Eyes" and "Leave Now!!!", establishing itself as a cult name in the São Paulo scene.

Bianchi gained national and international notoriety when he took over as the vocalist for the band Shaman in 2007, replacing Andre Matos. With Shaman, he recorded albums such as "Immortal" (2007), the live album "AnimeAlive" (2008), and "Origins" (2010), undertaking extensive tours in Brazil and abroad. After leaving Shaman in 2013, he formed the band Noturnall alongside other musicians, releasing several albums and consolidating his career in progressive and alternative metal.
