Biography

Tika, stage name of Marina Ignatti Casonato, was born in Rio Claro on July 12, 1989. She is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with a solid academic and musical background, having graduated in music from the Federal University of São Carlos and in popular singing from the Tatuí Conservatory. Before consolidating her original career, she gained prominence on the scene with a tribute show dedicated to iconic bands like Secos & Molhados and Os Mutantes, which ran for three years.

In 2014, she began her official discography by releasing a self-titled EP featuring collaborations with Pupillo and Pipo Pegoraro. Her national recognition was established in 2017 with the release of her debut album, "Unwritable", through the YB Music label. This original work moves between bossa nova and pop references, featuring guest appearances by names such as Otto, Romulo Fróes, and Kika, and receiving praise from major outlets in the Brazilian press.

The artist continued to expand her career in the following years, joining forces with Kika, João Leão, and Igor Caracas to form the band Passarim30, in tribute to Tom Jobim. In 2019, she presented the EP "Nós", the result of a solo tour that traveled through cities in Brazil and Portugal, further cementing her space in contemporary music alongside artists like Rodrigo Campos.
