![]() ![]() They are all Brazilian drags with different characteristics and styles. My dream is that, one day, I could be on that judges panel having one of my songs in the lip sync battle!Ĭan you name three other drag artists you admire?Īctually, instead of pointing out three drags that I admire, I’ll suggest three drag artists we should pay attention to, okay? Enme Paixão, Kaya Conky and Electra McKlein. Yes! Please, RuPaul, invite me to your show! I’m a big fan of RPDR! It was one of the reasons why I started doing drag. Would you like to be a judge on an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race? Without Mamma Ru, I don’t think there would be a global drag scene as there is today. I am here to say “you can do it, girl!” A very important part of our work is to open doors for new artists to emerge and break more barriers. I am the result of a legacy of drag artists, and I want to perpetuate this artistic expression and to take it even further. I also want to inspire them to support each other. I want all of them to dream, to study, to work, and to conquer all the spaces they want. What are you hoping your legacy for future drag artists will be? Let’s talk about how your fame will translate into a legacy. I think we live under God’s eyes and we have to do good to inspire people so they can do good too. I’m always carrying my faith with me and towards others. I talk to God everyday at home, at my hotel room or before my shows. Nowadays, I’m very grateful for what I have accomplished. I am a Christian, but I don’t go to churches or temples as I believe we don’t need to go to the church to be connected with God. Eventually, I realised I preferred the musical part of mass.ĭo you consider yourself a religious or a spiritual person nowadays? I used to sing in every church party, like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter or Christmas. I remember asking my mother to take me along and let me sing. I started singing at the Presbyterian Church choir close to my house when I was four or five. I heard that your first performance in front of an audience was at a church. I remember that every time I was in the shower, I’d take a shampoo bottle and rehearse my speech for when I was receiving an award! Tell me about the dreams you had when you were young. Family is something we build, not something resulting from a blood link. In my family, we have always loved, respected and supported each other. Instead, what keeps us united is love and respect. Nowadays, a family is not about a man and a woman. I heard that you’ve never met your father? ![]() Much of the strength the artist Pabllo has today comes from that little dreamer boy from the countryside. I think it is extremely important for us to always remember where we came from so that our essence remains intact. She is the base of our family and it’s because of her that Pabllo is here today. She was a real lioness when it came to defend me and to teach me how life worked. She calls me everyday just to know if I have had lunch or if I got to the hotel safely. It wasn’t easy, because we were very energetic kids. And for that, she had to work on lots of jobs so she could give us a better life. She raised me and my sisters all by herself. If there’s someone in this world who inspires me, it is her, Ms. I presume you have a lot to say about your mother. She works with me as a part of my team and she is in every show I perform. She eventually gave up, but I kept on going. ![]() We both started taking ballet lessons together when we earned a scholarship. She used to be my guinea pig, because I loved to make her up and style her hair when we were little. I have a twin sister named Phamella, and she is one of the best people I know. She also sent a message to RuPaul: “please, invite me to your show!”ĭo you still maintain that close relationship with your family? We talked about her childhood, her experience of becoming famous, and how she’s trying to use that fame to leverage change. I was thrilled when she agreed to an interview, which we conducted over two phone calls. That makes Brazil-for 13 years in a row-the world’s single most dangerous country to be trans.Īs a fellow Brazilian and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I’ve long looked up to Pabllo Vittar as a hero. Additionally was the challenge of growing up in Brazil, which is one of the most dangerous countries for LGBTQIA+ people globally, and getting worse.Īccording to a report published by the National Association of Transvestites and Transsexuals of Brazil ( ANTRA), the country saw 43 more murders involving transgender victims in 2020 than in 2019. The artist never knew her father, who left when her mother was pregnant. Born as Phabullo Rodrigues da Silva, and raised in the largely rural northern state of Pará, Vittar was surrounded by poverty. From the outside, this rise to the top seems to have occurred effortlessly and without pause. ![]()
