Biography

Eliana began her artistic career in 1986 at the age of thirteen, joining the musical groups A Patotinha and later Banana Split, at the invitation of Gugu Liberato. Her transition to a hosting career occurred in 1991 on SBT, where she initially stood out on the show Sessão Desenho. It was during this time that the children's classic "Os Dedinhos" emerged, a song that became a sales phenomenon and consolidated her image as a children's icon, leading her to host shows like Bom Dia & Cia.

Throughout her career, Eliana demonstrated versatility by migrating from children's programming to adult audiences. In 1998, she signed with Record, where she hosted the program Eliana & Alegria and, years later, Tudo é Possível, marking her definitive entry into Sunday afternoons. Musically, the artist achieved significant milestones, such as a Latin Grammy nomination in 2000 for the album Primavera, becoming the first Brazilian children's presenter to compete for the award. Her discography totals over four million copies sold across two decades.

In addition to television and music, Eliana is a successful businesswoman, with hundreds of licensed products and a brief foray into the publishing market with Master Books. On a personal level, her connection to the history of Brazilian music is deep, having been married to musician João Marcelo Bôscoli, son of the legendary singer Elis Regina. In 2023, Eliana starred in a historic television moment by reuniting with Xuxa and Angélica on the Criança Esperança stage, reaffirming her legacy in national pop culture prior to her move to TV Globo in 2024.
