Life

Musically she was influenced by the MPB ( Música Popular Brasileira ), literarily by Brazilian modernism. She was influenced u. a. by Mário de Andrade and Tarsila do Amaral .
Her artistic career began as a singer in pubs and as a theater actress, later she appeared all over Brazil as a singer-songwriter. She caught the eye with her first record and won the Prêmio Sharp in 1991 as a female discovery.
She writes and produces most of the pieces herself, but has also interpreted songs by Dorival Caymmi and Caetano Veloso .
