What happens when you take a girl from the suburbs of Chicago, transport her into the culture, music and language of Brazil, and then drop her into the New York City music scene? You get the power and heartfelt timbre that is Fiama. Fiama’s music blends her Brazilian roots- artists such as Elis Regina, Maria Bethânia and Caetano Veloso, with her R&B and Pop experiences to form a unique sound for her deeply touching, and searching lyrics. The diverse talents of her band members add to the mix styles and cultural influences from places such as Puerto Rico, Japan, Ecuador and Chile. Fiama's debut album "They Say Fala" is resonant with Brazilian, Latin and Rock-influenced tones fronted by one of the most unique, soft and dynamic vocal talents you will ever hear. Her songs are interwoven with a delicate balance of the Portuguese and English languages to convey powerful and poignant messages of love, life and yearning. "As far as the people I have only met in spirit through their own mystical way of expression, well, these include Edith Piaf, Janis Joplin, Maria Bethânia, Caetano Veloso, Tom Jobim, KT Tunstall, John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, and all of the brilliant singers and musicians that we meet in tiny bars in Brooklyn. These influences have been my motivation and inspiration.” - Fiama
