It all goes back to the 80s, when in Brazil, producers and labels were beginning to look for talent, Brazilian “pop rock” was on the rise, a wave of young artists who were just beginning to play and sing, got an opportunity to develop musically. , some of them became good musicians, many others disbanded due to disagreements caused by the producers themselves.
It was common for many musicians to fail or be forgotten, many bands dissolved and their vocalists became soloists, they left the country looking for an opportunity, at that time, Ana France was already working as an actress and singer professionally, she was hoping to be successful. , her brother and her husband, father of her son (Manu), had had some successes and she knew she could have a place in the industry.
Ana France had composed some songs, her inspirations and the music she listened to were musicians like Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Chic Corea, Brazilian Jazz, her friends were the people she showed her music to, her recordings and first demos were created in different music studios, but everything was only shared between friends.
When Ana France had her first demo, she looked for several famous musicians and record labels, but they told her no, they closed their doors, she even received a comment that her Demo was incomplete, despite this, she continued her work as a singer. , since he lived from it.
Ana's friends, musicians, always told her: go to New York, don't start here, Ana France months later decides to go to NY to try her luck and leave her family in Brazil, leaving everything behind, including her son, months Afterwards everything went well and a record label signed her, she managed to obtain the Green Card and was able to take her son with her.
