Latin Diva Series: CéU (São Paulo, Brazil)

Latin Grammy-nominated singer and composer CéU was born into a musical family in Sãu Paulo, Brazil, and decided to pursue her own musical career at the age of 15. Her influences include Brazil's great classical composers and the repertoire of the marchinhas (turn-of-the-century Carnaval music), as well as jazz, hip-hop, reggae, and dub. Her debut album, CéU, showcases her "velvet, jazz-accented vocals." (Newsweek).
