From the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to the red carpets of Hollywood, Anitta has redefined what it means to be a global pop star. Known for her infectious beats, multilingual lyrics, magnetic stage presence, and fearless personality, Anitta has captivated fans across continents — and she’s just getting started.
A Global Star with Local Roots
Born Larissa de Macedo Machado, Anitta started her music journey uploading videos to YouTube and performing in funk carioca parties. Her breakout hit “Show das Poderosas” (2013) catapulted her to national fame in Brazil, but it was only the beginning.
Rather than staying in a local comfort zone, Anitta embraced a bold vision: conquering the global stage without losing her cultural identity. Singing in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, she seamlessly crosses borders, celebrating Brazil while embracing worldwide pop, reggaeton, funk, R&B, and electronic music.
Breaking Through Internationally
Anitta’s breakout into the global market came with collaborations that turned heads and moved charts:
- “Downtown” with J Balvin – a sultry Spanglish reggaeton hit
- “Girl from Rio” – a reimagined classic that paid homage to Brazilian bossa nova and her hometown roots
- Features with global stars like Madonna, Cardi B, Maluma, Major Lazer, Saweetie, and more
Her 2022 album “Versions of Me” was a landmark release, blending languages and styles in a way few artists dare — and landed her a historic MTV VMA win, making her the first Brazilian artist to win in the show’s history.
More Than Music
In 2025, Anitta released a Netflix documentary titled “Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta,” offering fans an unfiltered look into her life, struggles, and the business side of being a superstar. The documentary became a global hit, topping charts and reinforcing her multidimensional appeal.
Anitta’s fierce independence, outspoken activism (especially for LGBTQ+ and women’s rights), and entrepreneurial spirit have earned her accolades beyond the music industry — from TIME Magazine naming her among the most influential people, to partnerships with major fashion and beauty brands.
