Artists:

Natália Carreira is a singer-songwriter from Brazil. The 29-year-old artist began her musical journey in 2017 with her first breakout single, Geminiana, an intimate and independently produced project, which managed to surpass 900,000 organic views across social media. A child of the 2000s and 2010s emo era, Natália Carreira currently describes her sound as MTB - Música Triste Brasileira (Brazilian Sad Music), blending elements of MPB, lo-fi, bedroom pop, pop rock, and emocore. Lesbian representation is one of the pillars of her work: all of her love songs and heartbreak anthems are intentionally written from one woman to another. At the heart of her work is the desire to create identification and a sense of belonging through her lyrics, ideas, and values, always embracing honesty as a path toward genuine connection with her audience. Over the years, the artist has independently produced four touring projects across Brazil, performing in small cultural venues throughout the country. Travelling independently, Natália has performed shows in different configurations - including solo performances, duo sets and collaborations with local musicians. Every stop also featured local guest artists, creating opportunities for meaningful exchanges with different music scenes, artists, and audiences.
