She came from an artistic family, with her mother having produced some successful Brazilian pop songs, and her aunt and uncle being well-known singers in Brazil, and she spent much of her childhood in recording studios.

In Germany, she took lessons in jazz, modern dance, Hip hop, ballet and voice. Brandão, who speaks Portuguese, Spanish, German and English, left school early in 2001, so as to be able to concentrate solely on her music career.

She has further participated in various stage and television appearances of artists including Modern Talking, ATC, Sarah Connor and Rick Astley.
