[edit] Career

From the age of five to twelve, she lived in the United States and learned to read first in English and then in Portuguese. She gained attention in 1977 when popular singer Gal Costa recorded her song "Meu Doce Amor". Other songs she wrote were inspired by her brother's poetry.

Her album, Simples Como Fogo (1979), would influence the coming Brazilian rock scene in the 1980s. She gained major success with the 1984 album Fullgás, with hit singles "Fullgás", "Me Chama" (written by Lobão), and "Mesmo que Seja Eu".
