About Me

When she was just 6 years old she started performing with her family and friends at local events. At the age of 12 she went to the Conservatory for 2 years, where she learned piano and music theory. She did various workshops all over Europe related to music, dance and drama, performing with her colleagues as well. At age 16 she started taking singing lessons with singer Cláudia Fier. On the same year, she joined Nanook, where she participated on the writting of the songs (music and lyrics). From here on, she has performed all over the country singing lead and back vocals; she also does regular recordings on studio.
