At just 15 years old, singer-songwriter Ciça Moreira already possesses a powerful voice and a well-defined style for her second album. Inspired by bands like Evanescence, Korn , and Bring Me The Horizon , but without abandoning her rock roots, this Minas Gerais native is taking firm steps in the national scene, showing that the future of the genre is in good hands with the new generation.
Passionate about music since the age of six, when she started playing guitar and soon began taking singing lessons, the girl first stepped onto the stage as the lead singer of a rock band at age 12 and never stopped.
Since then, there have been many achievements. In 2020, Ciça Moreira was approved for the talent show Canta Comigo Teen , on TV Record. "I want to show the judges that rock is not dead and that it will return with the strength it had in the past," she said on national television before performing a heavy version of Lady Gaga .

Possessing a versatile voice, stage presence, and great charisma, it was on the show that Ciça had the opportunity to meet one of her idols: Bruno Sutter . The musician is one of the confirmed guests on the artist's new album, titled Conflitos , which will also feature guests Ivan Sader and the band Leela .
While in her first album, No Meio do Caos (2021), Ciça explored an intense rock sound with youthful themes, as in the powerful tracks “Não Vou Voltar” and “Me Diga”, with room for more subtlety in “Acidez”, the new project seems to have a more mature sonic and lyrical direction, bringing out a darker and heavier side of the singer, without abandoning rock.
After the lively “Aluga-se” , the single “Fobia”, released at the end of March, successfully flirts with metal as the artist's chosen way to address mental health and anxiety. With more weight, the artist's voice gains new strength and definitively places her on the radar of rising stars in Brazilian rock and metal.
Currently, Ciça Moreira has surpassed one million combined views on YouTube and is approaching the same number of plays on Spotify alone, showing that it is possible to renew the forces of rock, especially in Brazil, with grit and passion, an attitude capable of winning over fans even among the girl's idols.
Besides Sutter, who confessed to becoming an admirer of the teenager, she has already participated in the Amplifica , hosted by Rafael Bittencourt , and was invited to participate in the Legado Taffo , in homage to the late guitarist Wander Taffo .
The album Conflitos does not yet have an official release date, but Ciça's press office says it will be a conceptual project.
