Biography

Bruna Foss is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist who blends Brazilian rhythms with her diverse international influences. Born in Curitiba, her musical journey began at the age of six when her grandfather, also a musician, gifted her a guitar. By 2020, Foss started sharing covers of MPB and Bossa Nova on the internet, quickly gaining recognition for her interpretations. This early success led to a full scholarship at Grinnell College in the United States, where she pursued music studies under internationally acclaimed professors.

Foss made her digital debut with the single "Não Volto Mais" (I'm Not Coming Back), a song that reflects her farewell to Brazil and incorporates elements of Nova MPB and indie music. Her music often explores themes of love, identity, and the experience of living far from home, drawing inspiration from her studies in the US and an exchange program in Milan, Italy. She aims to "Brazilianize" new genres, integrating her roots with the sounds she encounters during her travels.

Her debut EP, "Estrangeira" (Foreigner), released in 2026, is a seven-track project in Portuguese, English, and Italian, exploring an intercultural romance and the personal transformations that arise from such relationships. The EP features collaborations with notable Brazilian independent musicians, including members of A Banda Mais Bonita da Cidade and Jovem Dionísio. Foss has amassed a significant online following, with hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of views across social media platforms, establishing herself as a contemporary voice in Brazilian music.
