Vieira began his career when he was cast as the character, David, in the Portuguese soap opera, Morangos com Açúcar.[1] Simultaneously, he joined the boy band, D'ZRT, which achieved national attention.[1] Vieira appeared in several other television roles, including soap operas, during his career.
In the early morning hours of 25 June 2011, Vieira was driving from northern Portugal to Lisbon for the release of his new solo album.[1] Vieira was driving his BMW 6-series over 150 miles per hour in the southbound lanes of the A1 motorway near the Estarreja exit when his left, front tyre burst at approximately 3:15 am, causing a one-car crash.[1] Vieira, who suffered severe head and brain injuries in the accident, was taken to Santo António Hospital in Porto, Portugal where he underwent surgery.[1] He died from his injuries on 28 June 2011 at the age of 28.[1]
