She was fortunate to study with the Dutch jazz greats such as Jarmo Hoogendijk, Joris Roelofs, Martijn van Iterson, Lydia van Dam to name a few and soon started developing her own taste and approach to music. She started her career performing in various jazz settings. During those years she also met and played with some amazing Brazilian musicians who taught and encouraged her to sing Brazilian music too, as it fits to her voice and colorful character.
