She has released over ten albums on Creative Sources Records and performed her solo album Islas Resonates at Art Basel, MONOM 4DSOUND & Neue National Galerie in Berlin, at the European Commission in Brussels, among other hundreds of other venues.

As a composer, she authored the original soundtrack for Threads (dir. Levan Sikharulidze) and the original music for the Rochas FW23 three-hour long presentation in Paris. Her score for the Motelx 2020 trailer received a Gold Award from the Art Director's Club Europe and a Silver Award from the Creative Club Portugal. She’s regularly composing music for immersive installations and art exhibitions, dance shows and fashion shows.
After a BA in Performing and Visual Arts at the University of Lisbon - Majors in Cinema and Literature - and a professional degree in Documentary Filmmaking at KinoDoc Lisboa, she produced and directed the 30-minute underwater art-house film Islas Resonantes (2023), screened at the Triennale and Diocesano Museum, Milan. Author of non-fiction books, and releasing essays on Substack, she has written her debut feature fiction film, Roots Run Deep, and provides creative consultancy on scripts.
