Mini bio
How it started.
Born Larissa de Macedo Machado, Anitta grew up in Honório Gurgel in Rio de Janeiro. She began singing in a church choir as a child. Videos she posted on YouTube helped lead her into the local funk scene and a deal with Furacão 2000.
The breakout.
“Show das Poderosas” made her a national name in 2013. She later expanded into Spanish-language pop, while keeping funk carioca central to her work. In March 2022, “Envolver” made her the first Brazilian act to top Spotify’s Global Daily Chart.
Going home in her music.
Funk Generation celebrated Brazilian funk in 2024 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album. Her 2026 EQUILIBRIVM projects widen that musical world to include samba, bossa nova, reggae and forró, with Brazilian collaborators and reflections on spirituality, love and ancestry.
