Alice Caymmi (born Alice Malaguti Caymmi on March 17 1990) is a Brazilian singer and composer. She is the granddaughter of Dorival Caymmi, daughter of Danilo and Simone Caymmi and niece of Nana and Dori Caymmi.[1]

Career

Before opting for a musical life, Alice studied law. Afterwards, she studied performing arts cênicas at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro.[1] He first professional recording was at the age of 12 in her aunt Nana's album Desejo, more specifically at the track "Seus Olhos",[2] written by her sister Juliana. Shortly after, they performed the song with Nana at a sold-out Canecão.[3][4] In 2007, she took part of the ending ceremony of the 2007 Pan American Games[3] with her father Danilo.[2]

In 2012, via a partnership between Kuarup and Sony Music, she released her first, self-titled album, followed by a number of tours. The album is mainly original, except for two cover songs: one originally by Dorival Caymmi and another by Björk.[5]

Two years later, she released her second album, Rainha dos Raios, this time with mostly cover versions and just two new songs, including a partnership with Michael Sullivan.[6] In 2015, her version of "Como Vês" was featured at Rede Globo's miniseries Felizes para Sempre?.[4][7]

In October 2015, Alice was preparing her first live DVD, to be directed by São Paulo Fashion Week creator Paulo Borges.[3]

Personal life

When asked about her religion, Alice said:[7]

Formally, I never followed any religion. [...] I'm afraid of saying I'm religious, because it foreshadows doctrine. Here's how it goes: I am highly mystical, but I'm no hippie that knows natal chart. I value and admire behavioral archetypes, just like I do with Greek gods and stuff.
