Standing tall with an impressive height of 1.75 m (5 feet 9 inches), Gloria Groove maintains a striking presence on stage. Her weight is reported to be around 70 kg (154 lbs), complementing her well-proportioned physique. While exact measurements are often kept private, she is known for her distinctive and confident style that embraces body positivity.
Groove was influenced by hip hop since childhood in the early 2000s; the singer appreciated male performers and vocalists, including Usher, but the main inspiration to sing came from female artists, including Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Karol Conká, and Flora Matos.
At first, Groove did not intend to be labeled as a "drag rapper", but later thought it could be something that differentiates the singer's work. While O Proceder was considered to be mostly a rap work, it already included songs that mix rap and pop, such as "Muleke Brasileiro", which was said to be a "reggaeton-like song".
Groove's second single, "Bumbum de Ouro", was deemed entirely pop with a funk Carioca inspiration. The singer did this consciously, hoping to achieve a wider fanbase, and it was meant to be the kickoff for the release of a pop-focused album.

Education

Daniel grew up feeling he was different and was bullied in school. He also attended the Protestant church Reborn in Christ through his childhood until his teenage years and in the church, he learned about soul music and black music. He gradually stopped going to church as he started working in theatre at the age of 14 and came out as gay.
During this time, he played the role of Margaret Mead in an independent stage performance of Hair. Inspired by the play's themes, he decided to create a drag queen persona. The theatre made him appreciate the possibility of mixing music, performance, dance, makeup and costume.
Watching RuPaul's Drag Race, he concluded he could do his performances not only in the theatre, but also on clubs and shows. At 17–18, he adopted the stage name "Gloria Groove", chosen after how hymns are called in Brazilian Protestant churches and the musical term of the same name associated with black music.
