#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

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!

Givenchy, Lelê Navarro, #PopLife.

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.

'Thursday High' Music Video Shooting.

Hello from California Dreaming Everyone! =)

I hope you are all doing good and having a great new week! 
I arrived in LA one week ago and I've been enjoying it quite a bit.
The SUN is fantastic!

I have so much to do and accomplish while in LA, the city is growing on me and I have been meeting some great people so I should be posting some good news very soon!

For now, let me talk a little about my latest Fashion Film Music Video I shot in Tokyo a few days before coming to the U.S. It's for my newest single 'Thursday High'.:
*You can get it here:

I had been producing my new music video for about a month and a half.
Besides all the hard work that production is, all went pretty well expect for a little drama I had, the Director decided to drop the project 1 week prior to the shooting (YES, 1 week!).
Luckily, I have great friends and people who believe in my Vision and Art that I can always count on, so in the end, everything worked pretty well! =)

This time I've had the pleasure to work/collaborate with even more loved ones!
From models to dancers, hair & makeup professionals to stylist, artists to designers. 
What a great team!

I'm not gonna give it all just yet, but I can tell you a bit about its concept.
First of all, I'm calling this a Fashion Film Music Video, so expect a lot of Fashion such as Anrealage, Mayuko Daimon and more.
I'm throwing some art statements, some very poppy elements and a lot of sexiness! =) 
There is a little bit for everyone, I promise! 

The story recreates in a metaphorical and artistic way, the night that inspired me to write 'Thursday High'. It also recreates in a surreal way, the dimension we go to when we get high on a Thursday night! =) It's filled with body and skin! =)

I really don't wanna talk too much about it so I will stop here. Below you can see some of the behind the scenes, and don't forget to check the mega team on board for this beautiful piece of art.

Enjoy everyone! =)

David Bowie's Goodbye & Yumi Katsura Haute Couture Show

Hi Everyone! How is it all going?
It's almost February already and it went by so fast! So many great and sad things already happened...

I would like to start with a series of pictures and a tribute I posted on my Instagram in honor of our Hero who left us with a legacy of Art, Fashion, Culture and Music.

 
 

"‪#‎DavidBowie‬.

As an ‪#‎Artist‬ myself and big ‪#‎Bowie‬ fan, it's my obligation to write something meaningful and worth about our forever ‪#‎ZiggyStardust‬. ...I suddenly started receiving so many texts from friends saying "Bowie died!". Yesterday we lost a ‪#‎Genius‬
We lost a ‪#‎Visionaire‬ who always fought for his ‪#‎Dreams‬ and ‪#‎Goals‬. An Artist like no other who didn't need to die in order to become a ‪#‎Legend‬, the MAN was already IT.

Surprisingly, sadness wasn't the first emotion that took over my heart, somehow, perhaps unconsciously, my brain transformed the sad news into it gratitude. Yes, gratitude for having been blessed and still catch the #DavidBowie legacy. His ‪#‎Music‬, his ‪#‎Art‬, his ‪#‎Fashion‬. We were all lucky to have been living in this dimension alongside a great force. Some experienced more of HIM, some much less but still, we all have our own references and inspirations taken from this ‪#‎Rebel‬, we all have our own #Bowie within. 
I'm proud to have immortalized Bowie in my debut single and music video ‪#‎PopLife‬, I feel like I contributed on keeping up with his legacy throughout the next generations. http://bit.ly/poplifevideo

Bowie changed the way we see MEN with his glamorous and avant garde takes on fashion. HE revolutionized Rock and Pop Music by allowing new ideas, ‪#‎TheMANWhoSoldTheWorld‬ led up the way for the LGBT changing taboos and opening up for so many new generations that followed.
‪#‎Ziggy‬ revolutionized the Show Biz with his almost self destructive character, his Glass Spider and countless outrageous stage performances.

At last, to finish the cycle of a lifetime, our ‪#‎Hero‬ left us a big master piece. HE did it again! ‪#‎David‬ left us an autobiographical album with truthful lyrics, more musical experiments, cinematographic videos and a last goodbye from a tired yet accomplished ‪#‎BlackStar‬ or simply as in the silence of this moment, ★."

...Now, moving on to some happier news, I was invited to create the soundtrack for the legendary Yumi Katsura Haute Couture Show which will happen tomorrow January 25th, during Paris Fashion Week. If you are around, go check out the amazing collection they created in collaboration with designer Ji Haye and art director Felix Boukobza. 
Btw, besides some great new Music I found for this special curation, I also mixed 2 of my unreleased songs + #PopLife which you might already have heard.
If not, here are some links! =)

Have a great week everyone!
Thank you for the continuous support!
LOVE YOU ALL,

YOHAN.

Kit and Ace & CHIC feat. Nile Rodgers LIVE.

Hello everyone! I hope you've been having a great week so far. :) I would like to share with you the highlights of my last week. It was pretty great so check it out!

Between great meetings and good times, on Wednesday, my sweetheart Tabasa Tabuchi invited me to attend Kit and Ace's Supper Club Dinner, #RealTalk. The guest list was curated by Tabasa herself and gathered some pretty well known faces among the Fashion world. 

The catering was absolutely delicious and nicely presented. Between each course we discussed questions given to each guest. The questions were complex and well elaborated,  which made us for once, completely turn off our iPhones, and talk, eat, drink and laugh. To end the beautiful and pleasant evening... A Gateau Au Chocolat! 

 
 

To keep up with Kit and Ace, on Friday, I got invited by my musician friend Tigarah, to attend CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers LIVE! And guess what?! ...VIP passes! Ha!

At the start, we were having fun and enjoying with the crowd, dancing and singing along to classics such as 'I Want Your Love' (my favorite!), 'Everybody Dance' and 'Lost in Music'.

After almost two hours of real good Music, the best was yet to come! We were invited onstage (actually onstage!) to wrap up the unbeliavlbe Show. Besides grooving with the Legend that has produced every Artist I look up to, and singing and harmonizing to 'Good Times' (as Nile played his guitar at me!), I finally took a break from the reality and dived into my own #PopLife, imagining, dreaming and visualizing that, the entire Show was all mine.

 
 
 

Check out below episode 5 of 'The #PopLife Show' dedicated only to this great Show! ;) 

 
 

 

This was my amazing last week guys! I hope it inspires some of you to keep up with your dreams and goals! :)

Love to you all, 

YOHAN.
