Biography

Maria Luiza Jobim is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and music producer, born on March 20, 1987, in Rio de Janeiro. The daughter of iconic maestro Tom Jobim and Ana Lontra Jobim, Maria Luiza carries the rich heritage of Brazilian music in her DNA, but she has built an original career that transitions between bossa nova, electronic pop, and contemporary sonorities. Her musical journey began early, at the age of seven, when she participated in her father's final album, "Antônio Brasileiro", performing the samba "Samba de Maria Luiza", which bears her name.

Throughout her career, Maria Luiza was a member of the band Baleia and formed the duo Opala with Lucas de Paiva, exploring electronic music. In 2006, alongside her nephew Daniel Jobim, she recorded the Portuguese version of "Wave", one of her father's greatest classics, for the soap opera "Páginas da Vida". In 2019, she released her first solo album, "Casa Branca", followed by "Azul" in 2023 and "Rosa no Céu" in 2026, consolidating her artistic identity with productions that reflect cosmopolitan and intimate influences.

Maria Luiza Jobim demonstrates a deep connection to her roots, paying homage to her father and the Jobim family legacy in her works, while simultaneously seeking new forms of expression. Her music is marked by synesthesia, transitioning between colors, aromas, and feelings, and reflects an artist who, despite the weight of her surname, flourishes with lightness and originality, establishing her own name in the Brazilian musical scene.
