A street performer has recently made quite the stir on the internet. With his charisma and talent, this guy sure is going to go places someday.
Remember this young man’s name, Fabio Rodrigues!
He’s made quite an impressive fan base online. With 112,000 subscribers on YouTube and 53.4K followers on Instagram, Fabio is one talent to look forward to in the future. This particular performance of him is just an example of his undeniably unique talent.
He fearlessly busked a cover of “How Deep Is Your Love” by the Bee Gees.
For the record, he didn’t do it in some recording studio, he sang it on the street instead. Well, knowing Fabio as a busker, there’s no better place for him to showcase his talents than on the streets.
With his amazing voice and guitar-playing skills, he definitely lives up to the demands of this 70s classic song.
The song is known to be one of the most popular songs of the Gibb brothers.
With the reputation of the song, Fabio took no chances and gave his all. Based on the hashtags of his social media accounts, it looked like he’s also been to a couple of places like Brazil, Nigeria, and Ireland.
For this particular performance, he was at Dublin’s most famous and recognizable shopping area: Grafton Street. It’s also known as Dublin’s most Instagram-worthy street because of its colorful umbrellas hanging across the laneway.
It’s the same street that gave way to Irish artists like Bono, Damian Rice, and Glen Hansard.
Fabio has now become a regular busker on this street.
With his talent, he has entertained countless locals, shoppers, tourists, and many more. Though busking is not giving him a regular paycheck just like what a “real” job does, he still does what he does best, and that is to entertain people from all walks of life.
This cover that he did on one of the greatest songs of the “Kings of Disco” is beyond soulful. His voice has a unique, manly texture, and to pack it together with his guitar-playing skills- oh, it feels like heaven.
His performance turned into a sweet and enchanting pop ballad.
Covers like this will make any artist so proud of their song.
In fact, Fabio also did cover songs from various artists like Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, and Michael Jackson. He is indeed a versatile performer and it is almost safe to say that he got the talent from someone in the family.
In an interview with Dublin city Today, Fabio said that his father also plays the guitar. That most likely explains where he got his talents from, wouldn’t you agree?
In the same interview, he also revealed that he is from Brazil and he only moved to Ireland just a few years ago.
He is a wandering performer, gracing each country that he goes to with his incredible talent for singing.
Since the coronavirus outbreak, buskers like him were put in a temporary freeze, but when people started to normalize social distancing and wearing masks in public places, Fabio and his fellow street performers were back to entertain not only the streets of Dublin, but also the entire world.
Online viewers were also thankful for his talent.
This YouTube user was able to relate to him:
“Hi Fabio, I’m a guitarist, so I know how difficult it is to sing and play at the same time. You sing and play really well, keep it up!”
While this user asked him if he could adapt his style:
“Fabio, you are the great jazz-man! Being a pro as well, I especially enjoyed of your harmony’s improvement. I’ll copy some of them, if you don’t mind?”
And finally, one guy saw his potential and what could possibly happen to him in the future:
“This guy’s career is going to take off!!! Love him.”
If you happen to stroll around Grafton Street make sure to look for street performers. Who knows? You may witness one of Fabio’s performances. Oh, and if you do, please make sure to record it and share it online, we want to see it too!
