For Rodrigo Teaser, Michael is more alive than ever – The Brasilians

For Rodrigo Teaser, Michael is more alive than ever

Rodrigo Teaser started impersonating Michael Jackson at the age of nine, participating in children’s TV shows and artistic competitions.

Rodrigo Teaser was invited to perform for Michael Jackson at the “30 Years of Magic” party that took place in New York, gathering Michael impersonators from Latin America.

In Brazil, Teaser had already shared the stage with several local artists in tribute to Michael Jackson.

After the death of the King of Pop, Teaser had the idea to produce a mega tribute, a show with all the elements that Michael Jackson had in his performances. Today, this show is considered the largest Latin American tribute to Michael and one of the biggest in the world. A production with a live band, dancers, costumes, special effects, scenic lifts, LED screens, and more.

In 2014, Lavelle Smith, dancer and choreographer for Michael Jackson for over 20 years, came to Brazil to contribute to and direct Rodrigo and the show. During the process, Lavelle wanted to be part of the show. In addition to LaVelle Smith, Rodrigo Teaser shared the stage with Jennifer Batten, the King of Pop’s guitarist, on all tours.

In Brazil and South America, the show is a phenomenon, selling out wherever it goes.

Rodrigo Teaser is a common figure on the most-watched TV shows in Brazil.

Currently, the tribute to the King of Pop is considered one of the biggest tribute shows in the world. The show was broadcast live on the Brazilian TV channel Multishow and was a trending topic on Twitter.

In 2017, Teaser performed at the Rock In Rio music festival, which brings together international and national artists such as Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, and many others. Rodrigo was the only tribute artist to perform at the festival.

In addition to impersonating Michael Jackson, Rodrigo Teaser has his own music career. He grew up dedicating himself to the greatest pop artist the world has ever seen, but today he is also ready to follow a new path, without ever abandoning the one who opened the doors of art for him.
