She began her professional music education at Souza Lima Conservatory in 2009, and two years later, she transferred to Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, USA.
Barbara has been studying music business, while performing, writing, and producing her own music. She has been influenced by many sounds of Jazz, Pop, R&B, Gospel and Brazilian music.

It was very exciting!" she recalls. Now , with diploma in hand , the singer plan to move forward in her career."

I compose on the piano , which helps me a lot to train my hears .A initial intention is that the disk meets tracks in Portuguese and English , with a predominance of the rhythms and the mother tongue, without leaving aside the U.S. technique.
