As an independent musician born in the Brazilian Amazon Forest, Indigenous and European descendent, a mother, an immigrant in The Hague and artist on a renatification mission

I write from the view point of an outsider of multiple roots on a quest to belong and finally relax; a lover of nature and the pureness of children, an optimist humanity will make if we get to work deepening our human values.

 I offer music portraits and write devotional music in various genres, that go from pop, rock to traditional prayers to bring us in tune with the source of inspiration and all the magic that unfolds through art.

Having experienced fame from one day to another, I seek to deconstruct the characters and strategies I built throughout time to restore a more pure connection to music, as originally intended. Meeting one person at a time has been an essential part of this process of keeping it real and thrive in innovation while still being able to enjoy both personal and creative freedom.
