# Fede Vigevani

Federico Augusto Vigevani de Arce (born 1994 or 1995), also known mononymously as Fede, is a Uruguayan YouTuber and musician based in Mexico City. As of September 2024, he is the most-subscribed YouTuber who speaks Spanish as a first language, and has the 40th biggest YouTube channel in the world with over 64 million subscribers.
From 2014 to 2018, he was a member of the YouTube group Dosogas.

## Life and career
### Beginnings and Dosogas

Vigevani was born in Montevideo and studied graphic design. Vigevani uploaded his first video titled "La Mejor Joda Por Celular! (Excelente)" in June 2009 at the age of 14. He started regularly uploading in 2014 and uploaded his first viral video in which he used his mother's red nail polish to create art soon after.
Vigevani and his friend Mathías Sellanes created the YouTube group "Dosogas" which featured joke and hidden camera videos. The name is a portmanteau of "dos sogas", Spanish for "two ropes". Their first video uploaded in June 2014 went viral and surpassed 100,000 views in a few weeks. They would later create the Dosogas Team which included Agustina Añon, Nicole García, Christian Acosta, Sarah Silva, Sebastián Urdiales, Alejandra García and Oscar del Rey. The group reached 100,000 subscribers in July 2016 and the following year would see them upload more vlog-based content.
The group disbanded in October 2018 due to differences between members with multiple creators accusing Sellanes of being a "bad person". Former Dosogas Team member Agustina Añon, reflecting on the success of the group in an October 2021 interview stated that they were "like a family" as they lived together and did "tours, music and daily videos 24/7". Añon, who is also the girlfriend of Sellanes, stated that he and Vigevani had not spoken to each other for a long time. Despite the channel being inactive, it remains the fourth most-subscribed channel in Uruguay with over five million subscribers as of September 2024.

### Solo and music career

In 2018, he released his first solo single "Te Encontré", which was described by Ana Laura García of Ovaciones as merging "pop and urban rhythms". In 2019, Vigevani and former Dosogas Team member Nicole García released the songs: "Te Quiero" and "Roast Yourself" together as "Fedecole". In March 2020, he created the "La Vecibanda", Spanish for the neighbours, which were a group of children whom he would make entertainment and music videos with such as "Hermanos De Verdad", "Ya No Tengo Novia" and "No Somos Lobos". The latter, described as his favourite song, surpassed fifty million views in less than a year after it was uploaded. After reaching ten million subscribers in 2021, he created a new version of his song "Más Que Un Fan", in which he visited his fan's homes. He has performed his songs at venues such as the Luna Park in Argentina, the Pepsi Center stadium in Mexico and the Teatro Caupolicán in Chile.
Vigevani was one of the hosts of the 2021 Kids' Choice Awards Mexico, alongside the music duo Skabeche. In 2023, his show "El mundo de Fede Vigevani" made its debut at the Summer Theater in Montevideo before being performed eight times at the Teatro Gran Rex in Buenos Aires. Additionally, he uploaded a viral video that year in which he bought three clowns on the deep web. On 20 May 2024, Vigevani announced that he had become the most-subscribed Spanish-speaking YouTuber in a live-stream in which he jokingly stated that he wished to overtake El Reino Infantil, the Spanish-speaking channel with the most subscribers. He competed in MrBeast's video "50 YouTubers Fight for $1,000,000" in which he was eliminated after failing to cut an umbrella-shaped dalgona.
