Biography

Lorena Almeida Alves Rodrigues de Lima, known artistically as Lourena, is a Brazilian singer and songwriter born in Rio de Janeiro on April 2, 1994. Her musical journey began early, at the age of eight, when she received a guitar from her grandmother and began studying the instrument, discovering her passion for songwriting at 12 years old. This passion led her to pursue an artistic path that blends diverse influences while maintaining her identity and truth in every work.

Gradually, Lourena gained prominence in the music scene. In 2018, she participated in the "Grito Acústico" project alongside rappers WJ and Morcego, with the music video for "Quando você voltar" reaching millions of views. Her participation in volumes of "Poesia Acústica", such as #9, alongside artists like Filipe Ret, Xamã and Djonga, solidified her presence and increased her visibility. In 2024, she released her self-written album "Um pouco de mim", featuring seven tracks, with guest appearances by MC Hariel and Thi Marquez.

Lourena stands out for her striking voice and for addressing themes such as love, perseverance and female freedom in her lyrics. She has become an important voice in national rap, facing the challenges of a genre still dominated by men and striving to affirm the female presence. Her music moves between R&B, rap and pop, with a characteristic flow that reflects her origins in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, such as Madureira. Currently, Lourena continues to expand her discography and enchant the public with her authenticity and talent.
