Her first single “Eu Vou Ficar” saw the light of the day in the same year when she signed for the first recording house. Following year, “Quadradinho” became a hit song with recognizable dance moves. This year she already got an offer from a bit stronger music recording house; therefore, she left the previous one.
One of the songs that brought her early fame was “Meiga e Abusada.” By the statistics, this song was “most wanted” on country radio stations. Her next contract was with “Warner Music Group.” Her first album was finalized and ready to be in the air in 2014. It was fully prepared in Las Vegas.
