[edit] Biography
Malheiros was born in Rio de Janeiro.[4] She is the daughter of Azymuth bassist Alex Malheiros.[5] She was interested in music from a young age, enrolling in music school at age six,[4] and making her first studio recording before age seven.[1] She cites Azymuth and João Gilberto as early influences on her musical style.[4]
Malheiros's first commercially distributed recording was the title track of Azymuth's 1991 album Curumim, on which she sang lead vocals.[4] Her debut album, Equilibria, was released in 2005.[1] Malheiros wrote or co-wrote nine tracks on the album.[4] Her second album, New Morning, was released in 2008.[2] Both albums were produced by Daniel Maunick[1] and released on the Far Out Recordings label.[3][4] A remastered and partially reworked "Deluxe Edition" of New Morning was released in 2009, containing a few extra tracks and an increased emphasis on instrumentation.[5]
Malheiros made her United Kingdom concert debut on 18 May 2005 at Jazz Cafe, London.[6]
