MUSIC

A Japanese-Brazilian singer-songwriter hailing from Dourados, Brazil. She began her musical journey at the age of eight and later moved to São Paulo to attend the Souza Lima Conservatory (affiliated with Berklee College of Music), where she majored in popular vocals and guitar. There, she honed a musical sensibility characterized by delicate, expressive vocals rooted in Brazilian genres like Bossa Nova and Samba. While building an international career that extended beyond Brazil to cities like Lisbon, Portugal, she relocated to Japan—her family's ancestral home—in 2021 to continue her activities. Her ability to seamlessly navigate between Japanese and Portuguese lyrics, combined with solo performances that evoke the unique emotional atmosphere of Bossa Nova, garnered significant attention through long-form videos on her YouTube channel. She has since received numerous offers for rare and prestigious engagements—ranging from major festivals and venues like Fuji Rock Festival, Blue Note Place, and Billboard Live Tokyo to events hosted by the Brazilian Embassy, ​​regular appearances at The Tokyo Edition Toranomon, and a performance at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. Her work spans everything from Japan-Brazil cultural exchanges to luxury and street culture settings, establishing her as an artist who captivates diverse audiences across genres and generations. She currently considers São Paulo her home base, conducting limited activities in Japan during twice-yearly visits. On May 1, 2026, she released a version of "Kawa no Nagare no Yō ni" (originally sung by Hibari Misora) featuring special guest Lisa Ono, and has performed at events such as "La Folle Journée" (at Tokyo International Forum Hall A) and the outdoor event "Public Jazz" in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. A debut album featuring a star-studded lineup of guests—including Brazilian music legend Marcos Valle, New York-based global artist Takuya Kuroda, and the renowned Jaques Morelenbaum (known for his work with Ryuichi Sakamoto)—is scheduled for release in late October 2026 (via Rambling Records). By interpreting the allure of traditional culture through the lens of their own heritage and blending traditional roots with innovative techniques, the artist is emerging as a symbolic figure bridging Japan and Brazil for a new era, garnering high expectations for a successful global career.
