Early life
Siqueira was born on September 11, 2005, in São Paulo, Brazil, to a family with a strong background in music, and has said she has sung for as long as she can remember.[2][3] She began training as a dancer in 2020, and started posting dance and cover videos to social media, where she was first noticed by Hybe scouts.[2][4]
Career
2021–2024: Career beginnings and Dream Academy
In 2021, Siqueira represented Brazil in a "bootcamp" audition held in Abu Dhabi for the multinational pop group Now United, organized by XIX Entertainment, but she was not selected to join the group's official lineup.[2] She also appeared as a featured performer in music videos for the global youth collective The Bootcampers, including "Good Days" and the crossover single "Come Together" with Now United.[5]
In August 2023, she was selected —from among more than 120,000 applicants— as one of 20 international contestants on The Debut: Dream Academy, a talent competition produced by Hybe and Geffen Records to form a new multinational girl group, taking the place of another Brazilian contestant who had been eliminated before the show's premiere.[2][6] During the competition, Siqueira placed second in a fan-voted popularity ranking after surviving the show's first elimination round.[2][6] She advanced to the show's live final, ultimately placing seventh among the ten finalists; the top six were selected to debut in the resulting group, Katseye.[2][7] Her competition journey was later documented in the 2024 Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: Katseye.[8]
2025–present: Prelude, World Scout: The Final Piece and debut with Saint Satine
Siqueira was announced on August 26, 2025, as the second confirmed member of "Prelude", a development roster HYBE x Geffen formed with three former Dream Academy contestants —Siqueira, Emily Kelavos and Lexie Levin— while a fourth, final member was sought through a companion audition show.[2][3][7] On May 12, 2026, during the final broadcast of the television audition World Scout: The Final Piece, Siqueira was officially named as a member of the global group Saint Satine.[1][9]
