Born in 1976, she got her degree in Unirio in Música Popular Brasileña, where she developed her music under teachers like Luis Otávio Braga, Roberto Gnattali, Rick Ventura, Avelino Romero, Maria Haro and Mirna Rubin. In 2007, she was in a coma from which she emerged unharmed, but which forced her to “relearn how to breathe, to speak, to walk, to eat, and to sing”, as she herself says. A nature lover and always inspired by nature, she got her strength back by writing books (“Quero ver verdejar”, “Vilarejo”, “Bárbara e a baleia”, “A história da menina que chorava letras”, “Joana e Altamira”, “Menino, grande menino” and “Verde Maduro”) which garner a certain amount of acclaim and are even held as examples for children’s activities. The other thing that helped her recover was continuing to work with her Brazilian indie-pop band, LUISA MANDOU UM BEIJO. She recorded three albums with them as the lead singer, even writing many of the songs, but she slowly began to surround herself with other musicians who connected to her life philosophy. This gave way to the band with which she released her first album. O OLHO MÁGICO - Bruno Reis(Brazilian guitar), Felipe Rodrigues (guitar), Rodrigo Sebastian (double bass), Rômulo Frazão (flute) y Thiago Kobe (drums) – have been key figures in the recording process of “Descalços Sobre A Terra”, which was done in an absolutely acoustic format that connects Brazilian tradition and roots to samba and bossa, and even to pop music.
