Ruan Vitor Vaqueirinho, born Ruan Vitor de Jesus Borba, is a Brazilian singer and songwriter born on January 13, 2016, in São Félix, Bahia. Raised in the Recôncavo Baiano region, he developed an interest in music from an early age and began his artistic career as a child, sharing performances on social media inspired by vaquejada culture and Northeastern Brazilian rhythms. Professionally active since 2023, Ruan Vitor works primarily in vaquejada, piseiro, and forró. He gained national recognition through digital platforms, where his videos have accumulated millions of views. Among his best-known songs is the original composition “Amanheceu.” His repertoire also includes “Presente de Deus,” “Que Deus Me Livre,” “Deixa Eu Falar Pra Você,” “Eu Tava Aqui Pensando,” “Fogão de Lenha (Ao Vivo),” and “Desisto Não,” with recordings available on platforms such as Spotify and YouTube. Throughout his career, he has performed and appeared alongside artists including João Gomes, Xand Avião, Iguinho & Lulinha, Léo Santana, Alcimar Monteiro, and Raí Saia Rodada, as well as appearing on nationally broadcast television programs. In 2026, he made his debut at Salvador Carnival, performing at Largo Tereza Batista in the Pelourinho district. His audiovisual portfolio includes the project “No Ritmo do Vaqueirinho” (2025), expanding his work beyond music and live performances. In 2026, he began a new chapter in his career with his film debut as the lead actor in “O Menino Que Não Existiu,” a feature film directed by Iberê Carvalho, produced by O2 Filmes and distributed by O2 Play. The film follows a homeless boy who finds in music and art a way to assert his existence in a society that renders him invisible. Filmed in Brasília, the project marks Ruan Vitor’s first leading role in a feature film.
