Her first interpretation was singing the samba "Triste Madrugada" by Jorge Costa.
She took singing classes at the age of 10 and continued to perform in children's radio and television programs and in dances on the outskirts of São Paulo. Later, she would work as a banker, clerk and an announcer of the Municipal Market of Lapa. She was a fan of Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, did several tests for crooner in nightclubs, but was always vetoed for being still very young.
