Two voices. One ElectroPop Opera. Not a concert — an experience.

Velvet Riot are an electro-pop opera duo where powerful lyrical vocals, electronic pop, fashion, dance and theatrical storytelling collide — contemporary production carrying echoes of the 80s, 90s and 2000s into a retro-futuristic universe.

Velvet Riot are Lui da Motta and Eugin Vita. Live, the duo bring four professional dancers: costume transformations made live on stage and choreography by drag artist Clover Bish of Drag Race España. The show runs from darkness to light, from shame to freedom and celebration.

The voices.

Opera-trained, pop-driven. Two singers who write every song together and carry the story from the first note to the last.

In 2024 he was one of the lead voices of Locomía on the album Llorar Bailando, playing more than fifty shows across Mexico, Peru, Chile and Spain — among them Morelia Pride in front of 60,000 people and a sold-out Arena Ciudad de México of 22,000 — alongside an extensive tour of Latin America's main television channels and media. Semi-finalist at Una Voce per San Marino 2025 and international guest at the Loano festival (Italy). Co-founder of Velvet Riot, where he writes, sings and builds the show.

Our dancers.

Flair, movement, flow and a lot of energy. The duo bring four professional dancers to the stage — the corps de ballet of SHAMELESS — An ElectroPop Opera: the bodies that carry the show from darkness into light, and the reason nobody in the room stays still.
