Life
Wanessa Camargo spent her early childhood in poverty and lived in a wooden hut in the Brazilian state of Goiás. At the age of nine, the family moved to São Paulo , where their father's career began. Wanessa Camargo is the daughter of the country and sertanejo singer Zezé Di Camargo from the duo Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano. Her aunt Luciele di Camargo is an actress and her uncle is the country singer Luciano Camargo. In 1998, her uncle Welington Camargo was kidnapped and her school was raided. This led her family to live in Florida , USA for some time . Wanessa went to school there and had singing lessons. In 2000 she signed a recording deal with Sony Music and began her musical career. With the songs O Amor Não Deixa and Apaixonada Por Você she reached the Hot 100 Brasil. Eu Quero Ser o Seu Amor and Tanta Saudade were also hits in 2001 and sold over 350,000 copies. On her album W she brought new elements of pop and dance pop into her music.
After marrying businessman Marcus Buaiz, she recorded the album Total in 2007 in Nashville , USA . The song N ão Tô Pronta Pra Perdoar (Portuguese: "I'm not ready to forgive"), which is a cover version of the song Not Ready To Make Nice by the group Dixie Chicks, became famous . In the same year she dropped the family name Camargo as a stage name in order to step out of the shadow of her father. In 2008 she recorded in Miami with the Mexican group Camila Abrázame (Spanish: "Hug me"). Meu Momento followed in 2009 , which includes a duet with rapper Ja Rule . Her 2011 album DNA is sung entirely in English.
