Larissa Pires

Larissa Pires is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro. She grew up with church music shaping both her faith and her approach to singing. In 2016, her single 'A Tua Palavra' gained attention for its straightforward message of hope, connecting with listeners who appreciated its directness.

Her catalog includes songs like 'Vaso Que Lhe Apraz' and 'Enquanto Você Louva,' which continue in that vein of devotional music. She has worked with musicians including pianist Mateus Asato and guitarist André Vasconcelos, though she remains primarily a solo artist. The music stays within the realm of contemporary Christian expression, without much stylistic departure from that foundation.

In 2017, she performed at a church that had faced criticism over its stance on LGBTQ+ issues. Pires disagreed with that stance but defended her choice to perform there as a matter of religious practice. The episode was noted but didn't significantly alter her musical direction.

She has released albums like 'Som da Chuva' in 2017 and 'Infinito Amor' in 2018. The songs are used in church settings and faith-based gatherings, serving their purpose without attempting broader crossover appeal.
