description It is a qualitative research, carried out in two public educational institutions with students and professors of the Bachelor of Music (major in singing), through interviews and participant observation. The transcribed lines were analyzed using the Grounded Theory. It was concluded that some aspects like the fetishizing of the singer and their multitasking are some of the most relevant in the process of social invisibility of the working singer and also how this social invisibility results in loss of quality of life, expressed in the form of frustration, low self-esteem, stress, economic instability, informality, precarious employment, and work overload to achieve their artistic performance (the singing) on the one hand, and obtaining their means of subsisting on the other hand.
