Biography

Emanuella Tenório Rocha, known professionally as Manu Bahtidão, is a Brazilian singer and songwriter born in Major Izidoro, Alagoas. She began her musical journey in the 2000s, later moving to Pará where she built a strong regional following as the vocalist for Banda da Loirinha, Companhia do Calypso, and eventually Banda Batidão, becoming a prominent figure in the tecnomelody genre.

In 2015, she transitioned to a solo career, releasing sertanejo-infused singles such as "Não Tem Essa Que Não Chora" and "0800". Her national breakthrough came in 2023 with the massive success of the hit single "Daqui Pra Sempre", a collaboration with Simone Mendes that reached the top of the Billboard Brazil Hot 100 chart.

Following her mainstream success, she also landed another hit in late 2023 with the track "Abismo", featuring Mari Fernandez. Her rise to national prominence led to major television appearances and performances at events like the Prêmio Multishow de Música Brasileira, cementing her status as a versatile artist crossing between tecnomelody and sertanejo.
