El Salvador Luiz and Louise Maria's wife Cabral Poster Vilar had already been raised by their eldest daughter, Louise Vilar Bramkamp Sobral, by the time of their son's birth.

Already in the first months of the boy's life it became clear that he had a congenital heart defect. Therefore, since childhood, El Salvador was protected from excessive load and fast games. Favorite football Salvador could watch only from the spectators rows of the stadium or sitting on the couch in front of the TV. Forced to spend most of his time at home, Sobral began to study music. Following the example of Louise's sister Sobral, the boy became interested in singing.

In addition to music classes, El Salvador was attracted to psychology, which the young man began to study at school. Gathered seriously thought about entering the university at the Faculty of Psychology and chose an unusual specialty of sports psychologist. In 2009, El Salvador came close to its dream by enrolling at the State University of Lisbon.

At the age of 10, Salvador Sobral was a first-time contestant. The boy appeared in the TV show Bravo Brav'ssimo, which was broadcast on Portuguese television. At the age of 19, the young man went to the Pop Idol music competition, which was held in Portugal for the third time. The talent show began in 2002 in the UK under the direction of producer Simon Fuller, creator of the Spice Girls group. But three years later the premiere of the program took place in Lisbon. In the first season of the show, the third place was taken by the boy's sister Louise, now it is the younger brother's turn to try his own strength.

For the project, the young man chose "Sunday Morning", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "I'm Your Man", "Heal the World", "Jura". At the competition, Salvador behaved simply because he felt that he was not ready to become an idol. Often on set, Sobral appeared in a shabby denim suit and a simple T-shirt. The young man reached the final and finished seventh among the participants of the season.

Due to illness, participation in the competition itself took place on special conditions for El Salvador. An agreement was made between the organizers of the event and the singer's representatives on the arrival of El Salvador only for a competitive audition. At the preliminary rehearsals, the young man was replaced by his sister, a well-known folk singer in her homeland, who was also ready to sing instead of El Salvador in case of health problems during the competition performance. As a result, the artist performed without going up to the big stage and in low light of spotlights.
