Raquel Becker

Raquel Becker is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from Rio de Janeiro. Her debut album came out in 2011, titled 'Antes e Depois' after the song that became a national hit. That track, along with others like 'Eu e Você' and 'Flores de Maio,' established her sound, a kind of introspective pop with roots in Brazilian music traditions.

She followed that first album with several others over the next decade, including 'Brisa' in 2013, 'Equilíbrio' in 2016, and 'Aurora' in 2019. Her songs often lean toward melancholy themes, delivered with a vocal style that listeners found both raw and haunting. In 2015, she spoke publicly about dealing with anxiety and depression, which brought some attention to mental health discussions around her work.

Her music reached audiences beyond Brazil, though the existing history doesn't specify where or how widely. The songs mentioned in her catalog suggest she kept writing in Portuguese, with titles like 'C' Est La Vie' and 'CALMA' appearing among her most recognized tracks.
