Yanny Maria

Yanny Maria came up in São Paulo, where she grew up listening to MPB singers like Elis Regina and Marisa Monte. She started performing at local festivals before putting out her first single in 2016.

That single was 'Toca Em Mim de Novo,' a Brazilian pop track with a samba feel that caught on quickly. It became something of an anthem in Brazil, especially among younger listeners, and helped establish her as a solo artist.

She followed it with a debut album called 'Em Suas Mãos' in 2018, and later songs like 'Estante da Vida.' Her music tends to work with themes of self-discovery and relationships, delivered in a straightforward pop style that leans on her vocal delivery more than production tricks.
