Her work bridges MPB, pop, and jazz, drawing influences from the Clube da Esquina movement while maintaining a contemporary and original sound.

Her musical journey gained prominence when she won the "2023 BDMG Young Instrumentalists" award, which boosted her confidence as an instrumentalist and opened doors for the recognition of her work as a composer and singer.
