Ana Vilela

Ana Vilela is a Brazilian singer-songwriter who gained attention in 2016 when an acoustic version of her song "Trem-Bala" went viral on YouTube. The song, whose title translates to "Bullet Train," connected with listeners through its straightforward emotional delivery. She had been writing and playing guitar since her teenage years in Santo Antônio do Leverger before moving to Brasília to focus on music.

After the viral moment, she released a self-titled album in 2016 and followed it with a live album recorded in São Paulo in 2018. Her catalog includes songs like "Promete," "Dádiva," and "Que Sorte a Nossa," which continue in a similar acoustic, singer-songwriter vein. She works as a solo artist, bringing in different musicians and producers for her recordings.

While "Trem-Bala" remains her most recognized work, she has continued to write and release music. The song's widespread reach meant it appeared in various Brazilian media, but Vilela's path since has been quieter, centered on her own songwriting rather than chasing another viral hit.
