Verônica Sabino, born in Rio de Janeiro on October 4, 1960, began her music career in the early 1980s as part of the vocal group Céu da Boca, with whom she recorded the albums Céu da Boca (1981) and Baratotal (1982). Her solo debut, Metamorphose (1985), produced by Roberto Menescal, featured songs by leading Brazilian composers such as João Bosco, Tom Jobim, and Ivan Lins. She gained national recognition in 1986 with her hit "Demais," featured on the Selva de Pedra soundtrack, followed by further success with "Todo Sentimento" in 1988 and "Tudo o Que Se Quer," a duet with Emílio Santiago released in 1989. In the 1990s, she released a series of acclaimed albums including Verônica (1993), Vênus (1995)—which included "Lua Branca" on the O Cravo e a Rosa soundtrack—and Passado a Limpo (1999), which featured her version of "Lágrimas e Chuva" for the TV series Mulheres. In 2002, Agora marked her debut as a songwriter. Later works include the live DVD Que Nega é Essa (2009), named after the Jorge Ben Jor classic, and Esse Meu Olhar (2015), a tribute to 1960s Brazilian music with guests Roberto Menescal and Milton Nascimento.
