Writing songs from a young age gave Paula Fernandes ample time to hone her craft, and she duly became one of the most accomplished and acclaimed modern Brazilian artists. Her guitar-led songs are often softly strummed, drawing from the Brazilian sertanejo country tradition, but she also brings a sophisticated, contemporary edge, with razor-sharp melodies carrying tales of romance and heartbreak delivered over close harmonies, swirls of accordions and tumbling percussion. Her heartfelt live performances have propelled her to massive popularity, with the million-selling Meus Encantos LP in 2012 and Amanhecer in 2016.
