Veigh recalls the origins of his trap, the most listened to in Brazil

The most listened to trap in Brazil belongs to a young man born in 2001, in a community in the west of São Paulo. Veighartistic name of Thiago Veigh, is the co-author of “Novo Balanço”, a track that exceeded 230 million streams on Spotify and which makes up the album From Deluxe Buildings.

Released almost a year ago, the album is new from start to finish, not just a new version of the namesake — From the Buildings (2022). The Cohab 1 buildings appear on the covers of both and symbolize the beginning of Veigh’s career.

From the height of his success, the trapper welcomed us to one of the many packed shows that make up his schedule. For him it’s a routine, since he reached the milestone of best debut of a Brazilian album on the streaming platform, overtaking, with 6.5 million reproductions in one day, the previous position of Anita with your album Versions of Me.

Part of the first Brazilian edition of the international project Future of Musicfrom the Rolling StoneVeigh confided his musical origins, the first rhythmic seeds planted in his head when he was just a boy, through family influence:

“My father is from the Northeast and owned a bar, so there was always a parade of keyboards in his bar and piano at home”, revealed the musician. “My father also literally produced speakers. And my mother always sang a lot, she sang in church.”

It was only in 2016 that Thiago would enter the world of music. Initially he would do so alongside Heitor, with whom he formed the duo Constelação. In 2019, the solo flight would come, this time with “Indispensável”, a single produced by Nagalli. Today, the two artists are partners in the record label Supernova Ent.

With the label – and the success of his deluxe project – came the trapper’s chance to promote a review in the composition process, which today takes even more elements from his own story, that of young people, like him, with deep roots in peripheral communities. A change in perspective, but not on purpose, which he recently summarized in an interview with Band:

“I can convey a little of what the kids are going through in my neighborhood, convey a little of what I wanted to happen to me, which was to have a car, to have a house and today I can have that. Before I sang about things I wanted and today I sing about the things I have, so it’s really cool.”
