Anitta grew up in the Honório Gurgel neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. She showed an early interest in music and began singing in a church choir at the age of 8. Her stage name, Anitta, was inspired by the character Anita from the Brazilian TV miniseries “Presença de Anita,” who she admired for being “sexy without being vulgar.”
In 2010, she was signed to Furacão 2000, a Brazilian record label specializing in funk carioca, a style of Brazilian dance music. Her debut single “Eu Vou Ficar” was released in 2011, but it was the release of “Meiga e Abusada” in 2012 that gained her significant attention, leading to a major record deal with Warner Music Brazil in 2013.
