Mallu used to search for LPs in her grandmother's house and had influence from her parents in her musical tastes. In 2001, she won her first guitar and two years later she began to going to classes. At twelve years old, Mallu began to compose her own songs, the majority in English. "It sounds better", she says. "I always was ashamed to compose in Portuguese. Sometimes, you want to tell things that need to be darker". But she says that is not too good in speaking English, and always have a dictionary to her doubts.
For fifteenth birthday, Mallu wanted her gifts in money, from her parents and grandparents. With this money, Mallu could record four songs and put them on the internet.
