CeU was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She is a singer and songwriter.

Biography and Career :

Because her father was composer, arranger and musicologist she had contact with music since she was a child and started loving it. He was the one who taught her to appreciate classic composers and she began to listen to Heitor Villa-Lobos, Ernesto Nazare and Orlando Silva.

Soon she decided to become a great musician and she took music theory and violao lessons. The music she is singing has various influences from samba, valsa, choro, soul, rhythm and blues, hip hop, afrobeat and electrojazz music.

She signed a contract with Six Degrees label in 2005, and even though this was a minor record company she chose it because it was offering more artistic freedom.

After one year she was nominated at the Grammy Awards as Best New Artist of the Year.

She has many fans and fan clubs not only in the United States, but also in European countries like France, Holland, Italy, and also in Canada. In April 2007 she released her debut album in America. With her great voice we are sure she will be a star!

Quotes :

- "I feel that Americans are not used to listening to a language other than theirs, but at the same time they've been so receptive. Europe, especially France, is used to listening to things of the world, mainly Brazilian and African, so it's a world that they know. Here I feel it's not so common, but the reception has been great."

- "Music is done to be sung, and I'd love it if anyone would sing and do covers with my songs."
