[edit] Biography

The second of three siblings from the Estiano family, in high school Marjorie Estiano studied Scenic Arts in Paraná. When she finished the course, she moved to São Paulo to improve her acting abilities. Then, she studied Music in college for two years, and Publicity, also in college, for one year. While studying, she made some TV commercials and played minor plays in theater. After this, she was approved in the TV Globo Actor's Workshop and moved to Rio de Janeiro. Then, she signed the cast of Malhação, and started playing minor roles at first. Subsequently, she earned the role of Natasha, the villain in the 2004 cast. As Natasha was the bass player of the band Vagabanda, she had the opportunity to show her talent as a singer to the series' director, Victor Pozas.

Later she began sharing the vocals of the band with Gustavo (Guilherme Berenguer). Pozas and Alexandre Castilho started recording demo tapes with Estiano and sending them to record labels. Universal Music was interested, and hired Estiano. After several months in studio, her self-titled debut album was released. The first single, "Você Sempre Será" (English: You Will Always Be), which was previously performed in Malhação, hit the top of Brazilian charts, and won the Faustão's The Best Of The Year award for Song Of The Year.

The second single, "Por Mais Que Eu Tente" (English: The More I Try), was her second top ten hit, and the third single "O Jogo" (English:The Game) peaked just outside the top ten, but still enjoyed success. Thanks to the enormous airplay of the song "Você Sempre Será", her album went platinum. She is currently appearing on the soap opera Duas Caras in Rede Globo.
