Biography

Vitor Hugo Alves Ramil, known artistically as Vitor Ramil, was born in Pelotas on April 7, 1962. A singer, songwriter, and writer, he began his artistic journey in his teens, as part of a deeply musical family that includes his brothers Kleiton and Kledir and his cousin Pery Souza. At age 18, he released his first album, titled Estrela, Estrela, featuring the collaboration of important names in Brazilian music and opening doors for renowned artists to interpret his compositions.

Over the years, Vitor has explored various sounds and formats, ranging from the experimentalism of A paixão de V segundo ele próprio to the acoustic sophistication of Tango. In the 1990s, in addition to venturing into literature with the publication of the novella Pequod, the artist conceived the concept of "A estética do frio" (the aesthetics of cold), reflecting on his southern identity and solidifying fundamental albums such as Ramilonga – A Estética do Frio and Tambong, the latter produced by Pedro Aznar and recorded in Buenos Aires. His work gained international projection, establishing partnerships with names like Jorge Drexler and collaborating with highly relevant artists such as Caetano Veloso, Lenine, and Chico César.
