"I was born in Rio. I grew up loving the sun, the ocean, the forest, the morning breeze, the night breeze, and the warmth. Every morning my Dad use to drive me to school singing songs that he was making up right there to make me happy. It was a way to incentives my creativity.
I was always surrounded by love. Music was part of my life. Everything that I was feeling or doing had to have a soundtrack.
I had the opportunity to tour Brazil, I mean, all Brazil, with my theatre company. Than I was introduced “live” to all the richest brazilian rhythms that you can imagine! I was fascinated by all the variety of rhythms, that I already knew, but to be able to experience them live was a bomb!!!
When I moved to NYC I was fascinated and still am about the creativity power that rests here. The amazing musicians from everywhere in the world that come here to share experiences. I started to sing at the Zinc Bar and was amazed by all the musicians who stop by to jam. Then I felt that I want to have on my music different elements from different cultures but mixed with my Brazilian roots. Like NYC is a “melting pot” for me.
All these experiences made me compose songs with different rhythms, because….I love all of them!!!!" -- Marianni Ebert
Enjoy the rhythms and sounds of Brazil!!!!
