Bia Ferreira

Bia Ferreira is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and artivist (artist-activist) known for her powerful voice in contemporary Brazilian music. As a multi-instrumentalist, she has mastered the guitar, double bass, cavaquinho, atabaque and drums, and more. Her music blends afro-diasporic rhythms, including soul, blues, reggae, and Brazilian influences, while lyrically incorporating “escrevivência” — writing-living that combines autobiography and social criticism. Her work is not limited to music; she engages in activism for human rights and gender equality, solidifying her role as a leading figure in black, queer, and anti-racist feminism.
