As a grade schooler, she played a variety of instruments, including ukulele and trombone, but her real musical awakening came when she started listening to Brazilian artists such as Caetano Veloso, Tom Ze and Chico Science. "Portuguese music I love, but when I discovered Brazilian--that's when I was like, 'Yeah!'" she says.
