They did not ask me for fado. They asked me for the voice. And the voice I have was made by fado.

She sings, plays and writes
She is one of the few women who play the viola de fado professionally, and she writes her own lyrics and lyrics for other fado singers. In July 2026 she sang on the main stage at Tomorrowland.

The records and the videos
Three records, from 2014 to 2020. The EP and the single play here on the page, and so does the video — it only loads when you open it. The debut album has left every platform: what remains of it is the running order and the live recordings.
Written for other voices
In other voices
Four fado singers have recorded lyrics of hers. Writing for other voices is rarer than singing, and it is the part of the work that does not carry her name on the sleeve.
