Vini ’s story is one of transformation—of a young boy from Brazil who grew up in Argentina and now channels his complex identity into music that feels both intimate and universal. At 21, this Brazilian-Argentinian artist is making waves with his breakout single “I’m Happy for You,” a raw yet catchy pop song that turns the messy feelings of jealousy and heartbreak into an anthem for anyone who’s ever been caught in the middle of complicated emotions.
Growing up, Vini was obsessed with pop icons like Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and Taylor Swift, absorbing their performances and dreaming of the stage. His childhood musical theater classes were the start of a long creative journey, but it wasn’t until his teenage years—marked by personal struggles including depression and anorexia—that his songwriting truly took shape. Writing in English became a vital outlet, allowing him to express feelings that words in his native Portuguese or Spanish couldn’t quite capture.
The move to San Diego at seventeen was a turning point, not only for learning English but for expanding his creative horizons through acting and filmmaking studies in London. This broad artistic background informs his music and visuals, where every detail—like the stars and glitter in his “I’m Happy for You” video—carries layered meaning.
The song’s title came after a thoughtful process: originally named “Third Wheel Blue,” then “I Hate Your Boyfriend,” Vini settled on “I’m Happy for You” because it captures the complex mix of sincerity and irony at the heart of the track.
At the core of Vini’s music is a yearning to connect and to help others feel less alone. His upcoming album promises to explore themes of heartbreak, resilience, and self-discovery with the same honesty that defines his debut single. As he navigates the music industry, Vini carries both the Brazilian and Argentinian flags with pride, weaving them seamlessly into his art.
With “I’m Happy for You” as his launching pad, Vini is poised to become a defining voice of his generation—one that turns pain into power and invites listeners to do the same.
