Wellyngton Pereirah is a Brazilian singer-songwriter who co-founded the band Voarei in 2004 with musicians Mateus Asato, Ivan Corrêa, and Pedro Lucas. The band's name translates to 'I Will Fly,' which reflected their shared musical ambitions. Their debut album 'Voarei' came out in 2006, followed by live recordings like 'Ao Vivo no Rio de Janeiro' in 2010.
He grew up in Rio de Janeiro, where he sang in a church choir as a child. That early experience helped shape his vocal approach. The city's musical environment, with its bossa nova and MPB traditions, provided a natural backdrop for his development as a musician.
Among his songs, 'Voarei' became a notable track, along with 'Um Novo Caminho' and 'Presença.' In 2008, Voarei's music video for 'A Vida É Agora' drew criticism for depicting a same-sex couple, though the band maintained their stance on celebrating love openly.
Their work continued with albums like 'Sobre as Cinza,' though the existing record of their output appears incomplete here.
