Biography

1995–2016: Early life and career

Daniel Garcia Felicione Napoleão was born on January 18, 1995, in São Paulo, to a family of artists.[1][2] Daniel grew up in the Vila Formosa neighborhood, where he accompanied his mother, Gina Garcia, during her shows.[1][2] Daniel's mother was a backing vocal for pagode group Raça Negra, while his aunt was also a singer and his maternal grandparents were circus performers.[2][3] Inspired by his mother, Daniel recalls singing since he was 4.[1] When he was 6, he starred in advertisements for Elma Chips (Brazilian counterpart to Lay's).[2] He then auditioned in the program Шаблон:Ill, when he was 7, to become part of the band Turma do Balão Mágico (known as "Galera do Balão" at the time);[4] he was a member of the musical act between 7 and 9 years.[2] After performing in Programa Raul Gil as part of a children's gospel group, the ten-year-old Daniel competed at the talent show host by the program.[2][4] He only competed for two weeks because he was selected to star in the Rede Record telenovela Bicho do Mato (2006–2007).[4] Daniel started his career as a voice actor in this period; one of the major roles was to dub Rico Suave in Hannah Montana.[5]Шаблон:Efn

Daniel grew up feeling he was different and was bullied in school.[2] He also attended the Protestant church Reborn in Christ[4] through his childhood until his teenage years and in the church, he learned about soul music and black music.[2][3] He gradually stopped going to church as he started working in theatre at the age of 14 and came out as gay.[4] During this time, he played the role of Margaret Mead in an independent stage performance of Hair.[6]Шаблон:Efn Inspired by the play's themes, he decided to create a drag queen persona.[2] The theatre made him appreciate the possibility of mixing music, performance, dance, makeup and costume.[1] Watching RuPaul's Drag Race, he concluded he could do his performances not only in the theatre, but also on clubs and shows.[1] At 17–18,Шаблон:Efn he adopted the stage name "Gloria Groove", chosen after how hymns are called in Brazilian Protestant churches and the musical term of the same name associated with black music.[2]

Groove worked as "coach" in "Bishow", a segment in the TV Globo program Amor e Sexo in which contestants competed as drag queens.[2][7] Although the filming lasted until November 2015,[7] the show was only broadcast between January and February 2016.[8][9]

2016–present: debut as a singer and first album

Gloria Groove started a career as a singer by releasing the single "Dona" in January 2016 through the label SB Music.[10][11] It was followed by the song's music video directed by João Monteiro in March;[10] it was a hit, being watched 1.7 million times in a year.[2][12] In August, Groove released the single, "Império",[13] whose music video was released in October and was also directed by Monteiro.[3] In November, Groove was featured in Aretuza Lovi's single "Catuaba",[14] which was a moderate success in Brazilian Carnival.[1] First announced as an extended play to be released in March 2016,[10] Groove released the eight-track album O Proceder in February 2017.[7] To promote the album, Groove announced the release of single versions for "Gloriosa" and "Muleke Brasileiro".[15] The former's music video was released in June,[16] and it was released along with "Dona" and "Império" in a mash-up version by ONErpm in November.[17] The latter's music video, directed by Rafael Kent,[18] was released in November,[19] while its single version was published by SB Music in December.[20] Groove was also among the singers chosen to perform "Filhos do Arco-Íris", a single released in June 2017 whose profit was destined to amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.[21]

Since November 2017, Groove is producing a second album.[5] In December 2017, Groove released the first single for the upcoming album, "Bumbum de Ouro",[7][22] one of the singer's most successful songs[12] and a hit during Carnival.[23] It gained more popularity when the music video directed by Os Primos was released in February 2018;[19][22] it reached the top of Spotify Brazil's viral chart, and the video was watched over 5 million times on YouTube in three weeks.[24] In January 2018, Groove was featured on Aretuza Lovi's single "Joga Bunda" along with Pabllo Vittar;[1][22] its music video directed by Felipe Sassi[25] got more than 10 million views on YouTube in a month.[24] In May 2018, Groove released "Arrasta", produced by Os Catioros and featuring axé singer Léo Santana.[23][26] As a fan, Groove was the one who decided to invite Santana and hoped the partnership would help to reach a wider public.[23] The music video for "Arrasta" was directed by Sassi and was released in June.[27] In the same month, Groove was featured in a remix version of "Show das Poderosas", released by Anitta as part of a Warner Music campaign for the LGBT Pride Month.[28]

Groove's next single, "Apaga a Luz", was released in September 2018 and its music video directed by Sassi was made available in October.[29] A romantic R&B song, it was turned into a commentary on abusive relationships by Sassi.[30] In November, the singer was featured in Lexa's single and music video "Provocar".[31][32] In January, Groove released the single "Coisa Boa", produced by Pablo Bispo, Sergio Santos and Ruxell.[33] Inspired by Brazilian political context with the election of Jair Bolsonaro,[34] a music video was filmed in a defunct prison after a suggestion by director Sassi.[35] The video was influenced by Lady Gaga's "Telephone" and Orange Is the New Black[35] and was watched by over a million and a half viewers in two days.[33]

Artistry and public image

Daniel defines the "Gloria Groove" persona as "half drag, half rapper", and Groove's compositions vary from soul, trap, R&B, and Brazilian funk.[12] The singer is also known for performing and singing both as "male rapper" and a "female queer";[12] for example, the singer does this in the music videos for "Dona", "Império",[19] "Bumbum de Ouro",[1] and "Apaga a Luz".[12] As a "queer, effeminate, a non-white drag queen.", Groove's career as a singer is a way to "use my own voice to point out what's wrong [in Brazil]".[24] Since the first song, "Dona", Groove showed this feature with sarcastic lines such as "Oh My Lord / What animal is that? / Nice to meet you, my name is art, darling".[12] The singer aims to represent the LGBT community: "My music hopes to signify the existence of thousands of LGBTIQ people—our music becomes a platform of love and self-acceptance."[12]

Groove was influenced by hip hop since during the childhood; the singer appreciated male rappers, such as Usher,[5] but the main inspiration to sing comes from female rappers, including Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Karol Conká, and Шаблон:Ill.[23] At first, Groove did not intend to be labeled as a "drag rapper", but later thought it could be something that differentiates the singer's work.[23] While O Proceder was considered to be mostly a rap work, it already included songs that mix rap and pop as "Muleke Brasileiro",[5][7] also said to be a "Reggaeton-like song".[12] The following song, "Bumbum de Ouro", was deemed entirely pop with a funk inspiration.[5][23] The singer did it consciously, hoping to achieve a wider public[23] and it was meant to be the kickoff for the release of a pop-focused album.[5]

Groove has been described as LGBT "idol" by Brazilian media.[36] The singer was featured in "Rain Power", a photo essay published in the August 2017 issue of the Brazilian edition of Vogue magazine.[36][37] Despite this label, Groove's songs have also been popular among the non-LGBT public.[3][12] Gloria identifies as non-binary.[38]
