As Estrelas Descem À Terra/The Stars Descend On Earth

Olá meus amados #PopLifes! Tudo bem? Pra quem não conseguiu me acompanhar no Instagram e no Facebook semana passada, aqui vai um update! O HIGHLIGHT da semana foi o início das inscrições do curso: As estrelas descem à terra, que fui convidado a fazer parte como um dos artistas para os quais os alunos selecionados criarão looks exclusivos! 
A idéia é "Analisar as relações entre a Moda e a Música, ao longo dos séculos XX e XXI, a partir das perspectivas de formação das identidades, processos subjetivadores e comportamentais, são os objetivos do curso teórico e prático “As estrelas descem à terra”, que acontece nos meses de outubro a dezembro na Oficina Cultural Oswald de Andrade. Gratuito, os estudantes farão uma coleção com looks para shows dos artistas da nova cena musical brasileira" como diz Brunno Almeida, dramaturgo, escritor e filósofo.
Fora essa maravilha por sí só, ganhamos uma super matéria lá no FFW, confere!

Hello my beloved #PopLifes! What's up? For those who couldn't follow me on Instagram and Facebook last week, here's an update! The highlight of the week was the submissions opening for the course: The Stars Descend On Earth, which I was invited to be part of as one of the artists for which the selected students will create unique looks for!

The idea is to "analyze the relationships between fashion and music, throughout the XX and XXI centuries, from the perspectives for the formation of identities and behavioral processes, these are the goals of the theoretical and practical course "The Stars Descend On Earth", which happens in the months of October to December at the Oswald De Andrade Cultural Center. Free, students will make a collection with looks for the artists of the new Brazilian music scene", says Brunno Almeida, play-writer, writer and philosopher. 
Out of that we got a super article on ffw, check!

#PopLife (feat. Cahe Nardy & Violive Project) [Cahe Nardy Remix] Release

'Pra Começar' New Track feat. FOTONOVELA

YOHAN feat. FOTONOVELA - PRA COMEÇAR
Cover of "Pra Começar" by Marina Lima, released in 1986. In this new version, the song is recreated and gets synth-wave and current pop references. The vocals by YOHAN plus the new arrangement, invite the listener to hang out on a dance floor in a 80s like nightclub: neons, mirrors, squared tiles and sexy feel of romance in the air.

YOHAN feat. FOTONOVELA - PRA COMEÇAR
Cover da música "Pra Começar" de Marina Lima, lançada em 1986. Nesta nova versão, a musica é reconstruída e ganha referências de synth-wave e do pop atual. Os vocais do artista YOHAN somados ao novo arranjo convidam o ouvinte a passear pela pista de uma verdadeira "Danceteria" oitentista: neons, espelhos, piso quadriculado e clima sexy de romance no ar. 

LYRICS
Pra Começar (Marina Lima) 

Pra começar
Quem vai colar
Os tais caquinhos
Do velho mundo 

Pátrias, Famílias, Religiões
E preconceitos
Quebrou não tem mais jeito 

Agora descubra de verdade
O que você ama... 
Que tudo pode ser seu 

Se tudo caiu
Que tudo caia
Pois tudo raia
E o mundo pode ser seu 

Pra terminar. 
Quem vai colar
Os tais caquinhos
Do velho mundo 

Pátrias, Famílias, Religiões
E preconceitos
Quebrou não tem mais jeito 

Agora descubra de verdade
O que você ama... 
Que tudo pode ser seu 

Se tudo caiu
Que tudo caia
Pois tudo raia
E o mundo pode ser seu

'Rio' New Single Out Now.

Virgins In Town is proud to announce the official release of YOHAN’s new single ‘Rio’. 

‘Rio’ is YOHAN’s third single from his up coming album #PopLife.
The inspiration for this song came after a big night out in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during Carnival, when YOHAN was dancing and enjoying the party. YOHAN was back in Brazil for holidays and got embraced by his Brazilian roots and inspired by the Carioca women and the natural beauty of the wonderful city called Rio. The track tells this exact Carnival and Rio experience that has fascinated YOHAN so much.

'Rio' is YOHAN's most tropical and Brazilian song from his upcoming album #PopLife, with lots of Carnival like instrumentation, summer vibes and catchy and big hooks.
YOHAN defines 'Rio' as a "tropical-dance-electro-pop" track.

Tag Heuer, Millennium Dance Complex, Ausländer.

Hello you all! How is it going?

In a week, it will mark 2 months in Brazil! It's been a great experience and journey so far, and I'm very excited for all the partnerships, projects and everything else coming my way.

Today I would like to share with you some fun times and exciting news.

Tag Heuer:
2 weeks ago I had the pleasure to attend Tag Heuer Brazil's event, for the launch of their tech oriented new watches named #DontCrackUnderPressure, think Apple Watch feat. Tag Heuer. The event was held at Casa Fares, a huge, beautiful and modern space right in the heart of Jardim Paulistano. Brazilian Judo athlete and olympic medal winner, Flavio Canto was the special guest and played some games while the presentation was on.

After a few drinks and some great chatting with the beauties Maria Preu (C&A) and Priscila Borgonovi (PBPR), we went downstairs for some good dancing and more fun!

Millennium Dance Complex:
Millennium is the biggest Dance Complex from Los Angeles. Their clients include Starts such as J.Lo, Justin Timberlake, Selena Gomez and more.
Since I arrived in Brazil I've been looking for choreographers, dancers and a studio to start practicing and creating the choreography for my first album (tone released ) #PopLife.
Guess what? I found Klaus Duarte, amazing choreographer and dancer who believed in my work and decided to have a meeting with me and his team. I finally met Paula Tomazella and Milo Levell head of the first Millennium Dance complex in Brasil. If you don't know, Milo was Michael Jackson's choreographer!
The big news is: They love and believe in my Music and Art, so we decided to seal a partnership where they will be creating the choreographies for #PopLife and in exchange I will be co-producing their amazingly talented artists! This is extremely exciting! 

Check out my first workshop with the kids and my very first session today with Klaus, creating moves for my first single #PopLife!

Ausländer Halloween Party:
To complete an amazing post, I should finish it with an amazing party! =)
I was invited to attend Ausländer's Halloween Party held at an amazing location called Nos Trilhos, an old and industrial neighborhood of Sao Paulo, Mocca. They party itself was ok but the looks were absurd and I had the PLEASURE to wear Walério Araújo, an amazing Brazilian designer who is a sweetheart and extremely talented! Alongside me, Andre Florindo and Paola Ludtke in the gang who were also in Walério. I also matched my look with Chernobyl Show's custom headpiece I was gifted back in L.A. Check it out below!

Guys, I hope you enjoyed all the news and had fun it. I will keep on posting the good news! If you like it don't forget to engage a bit with me by liking, commenting and sharing it!

Hi Everyone!

How you guys doing?
It's been about 5 weeks in Sao Paulo now and things keep getting better! 

Besides some amazing new collaborators, partnerships and deals I can't quite tell yet, there are still some good news and fun events I would like to report and share with you.

The past two weeks have been like this:

#AtitudeGentlemenGivenchy:
The other night I had the pleasure to attend the launch party of Givenchy's new perfume 'Gentlemen Only Absolute', held at millionaire Cris Arcangeli's mansion in the most traditional neighborhood Jardim Paulista, Sao Paulo.
The party was pumping with good music by DJs, Cris Proença and Sarah Stenzel, amazing cocktails, a beautiful and well served buffet and of course, sexy Brazilian Celebs and Socialites, such as Wolf Maya,  Stella Jacintho and Amir Slama.

Lelê Navarro:
A few nights after Givenchy's superb event, I went on to attend Brazilian blogger and Socialite Lelê Navarro's website renewal party at Tea Connection in Jardins, Sao Paulo.
The event was very intimate. Lelê talked about her career and her passion for Fashion, most specifically for Men's Fashion, which is usually rare for a Woman. Good one Navarro! 
My dear friend and beauty guru, Andre Florindo was also there, giving a workshop about natural beauty and self confidence. To keep the party rolling, live music! =)

#PopLife Shooting, Art Shows and Beverly Hills.

Hey Guys,

How are you? I hope you had a good weekend.
My week was pretty fun and busy, just how I like it! 

Over last weekend through Monday, I was prepping for my amazing #PopLife shooting, which is basically some new photographs for my promotional material to be used by my booking agents and PR.

The actual shooting was on Tuesday, 9th, and I have to say, it was BEAUTIFUL!
My amazing friend Hank, Director and Editor of West Hollywood Magazine and WeHo Ville,  hooked me up with one of his friends who owns a Mansion in the Hollywood Hills, the location couldn't have been more #PopLife!

After an amazing shooting day, nothing could possibly have beat it, expect a full amazing week of fun!:

Thursday night, my beautiful friend Jacky invited me to the Basic Magazine Red Carpet Event held at Confidential Beverly Hills. The party was very 90's Beverly Hills style (look it up) and I made some new dear friends including Justin Howard and Charmaine Joie.

Friday night my birthday friend (once again) Hank, invited me to the opening of 'Round Hole Square Peg', an Art Show curated by the fascinating Phil Tarley, a fellow of the American Film Institute and an artist member of the Los Angeles Art Association, whom writes about contemporary artpop culture and photography for Fabrik Magazine.

Out of the photographers exhibiting, two caught my attention.:
Rob Lebow, who is actually a good friend of mine and shot me a few months ago in Palm Springs for his book 'GORGEROUS', featuring Armen Ra on the cover, and Josef Jasso, who I have never heard of before but definitely was winning the game, with some very colorful and bright pop art photographs featuring the one and only, Amanda Lepore.

Saturday night  I attended another Art Show my dear friend Aaron Rosenberg was photographed for.
The full collection of underwater photographs entitled 'California Mermaids', features naked models and friends, shot by Ukrainian artist, Alex Sher. His impactful and stunning pieces are spread throughout the entire Lurie Gallery.

To finish the week with a Golden Key after so much work and fun events, at night (still on Saturday) I went for drinks and a lot of Disco Music accompanied by some new friends and my bestie Lily at my favorite club in town, Giorgio's, at The Standard Hotel, hosted by the sweetheart, Bryan Rabin.

I hope you guys enjoyed the highlights of my week! There is so much great content including Art, Fashion, Photography and Music to discover in this post, so I really  hope you get inspired and have fun! =)

I LOVE YOU ALL, 

YOHAN.
