Thayuana Lima came up singing in church and at local talent shows in Cidade de Deus, a favela in Rio de Janeiro. Her 2018 track '#Partiu' broke through nationally, putting her on the map in Brazilian funk. The song's straightforward energy and her delivery caught on, and she followed it with a debut album called 'Faz Gostosinho' in 2019.
Her music, including songs like 'Espírito de Amor,' draws from funk, pop, and R&B. She's worked with other artists in the scene, like MC Kevinho and Lexa. A live band called The Squad backs her up, with DJ Ronald on rhythms and MC Pedrinho adding vocals.
Some critics have taken issue with the direct lyrics and dance moves in her performances, saying they push boundaries. Lima has said her music reflects where she's from and what people around her are talking about. She keeps putting out tracks that connect with listeners who recognize that voice.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
