Born in Venezuela, Nella is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music. In 2019, she won the Latin GRAMMY® for Best New Artist. Her style is a cutting-edge blend of her native country’s folklore, the sounds of her generation and influences from Spain’s Andalusia region. She carries her songs around like essential supplies in a backpack, and sings them with her soul.

In 2018, she was invited to act and sing in the Spanish feature film "Everybody Knows", starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem. . She performed several songs written for the film by the talented Latin Grammy® winner, producer, guitarist and songwriter, Javier Limón. Shortly thereafter, she launched a tour dubbed Me Llaman Nella (They Call Me Nella), which featured songs that she performed in the film, plus other Limón-penned tunes, and Venezuelan folk songs. This tour took her to the USA, UK, Spain, Venezuela, Panama and Mexico. Her tour was so successful that it continued for two years, despite the fact that she had only released three singles up to that point.

In May 2019, she released her debut album, titled Voy. Its first single, the title track, was named to the New York Times’ list of the 54 Best Songs of 2019, coming in at # 14 .

The voice of Nella has also captivated the Venezuela native and Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Gustavo Dudamel, who invited her to sing a song that he composed for Free Color, the documentary about the Venezuelan visual artist Carlos Cruz Diez. She opened for Alejandro Sanz at the American Airlines Arena in Miami and the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Nella has also shared the stage with Jennifer López, Carlos Vives, Luis Enrique, Susana Baca, Los Amigos Invisibles, Monsieur Periné, Caramelos de Cianuro and Guaco.

In May 2021 she released her first album with Sony Music ‘Doce Margaritas’. The 12 songs on the album were written by Javier Limon who also produced the majority of the tracks.

Nella has become one of the most critically acclaimed young artists in the world with her ethereal voice, along with her beguiling mix of pop, jazz and Spanish flamenco.

Bebel Gilberto (born Isabel Gilberto de Oliveira on May 12, 1966 in New York City) is a Brazilian popular singer often associated with bossa nova. She is the daughter of João Gilberto and singer Miúcha. Her uncle is singer/composer Chico Buarque. Gilberto has been performing since her youth in Rio de Janeiro.

Bebel's debut song was, as expected, precocious. At the tender age of nine, Bebel had already performed at Carnegie Hall with her mother and Stan Getz, and had previously participated in the musicals Pirlimpimpim and Saltimbancos with her mother and her uncle Chico Buarque.

Her professional solo debut came in 1986 with a self-titled EP released by WEA which included "Preciso dizer que te amo," a partnership with Cazuza, Dé, when both were in the Barão Vermelho band. In 1991, the daughter of Gilberto and Miúcha traded Ipanema, where she grew up, for Manhattan, where she was born. Bebel continues to live in New York City, but shares her time between the U.S. and Brazil.

Bebel was a great friend of Cazuza and she composed several songs with him in addition to "Eu preciso dizer que te amo," including "Amigos de Bar," "Mais Feliz" and "Mulher sem Razão."

Bebel next participated in the project Red, Hot + AIDS, joining major music stars such as Everything but the Girl, Maxwell, George Michael and others for the benefit CD recording. She also collaborated on the CD of Japanese producer Towa Tei Future Listening, singing on the hits "Technova" and "Batucada" and also participated in the project Peeping Tom Mike Patton (former lead singer of Faith No More), singing "Caipirinha."

With the release of 'Tanto Tempo' in 2000, Bebel concocted her trademark electronic bossa nova, which took over clubs around the world and positioned Bebel as one of the top-selling Brazilian artists in the U.S. since the '60s. With her second album, 'Bebel Gilberto' (2004), she refined her sound to create an acoustic lounge style that showcased her strengths as a Brazilian composer.

With Momento (2007), her third album in seven years, she wanted to do a fusion of both. Mixing the taste of Rio 'Orchestra Imperial' with the melting pot of New York's Brazilian Girls, and following the direction of the English producer Guy Sigsworth (Madonna's partner in "What It Feels Like for a Girl"), Momento reaffirms the international character of Bebel.

All in One, which was released worldwide on September 29, 2009 on the famous American jazz label Verve, was released in Brazil by Universal Music. It is the least electronic-infused of her albums, it also brings to the forefront more of Bebel's personality and love for organic styles.

To forge a mature serenity on 'All in One,' Bebel had a super team of producers including Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen), John King (Dust Brothers, Beck), Daniel Jobim, Carlinhos Brown, Didi Gutman (Brazilian Girls) and Mario Caldato Jr (Beastie Boys, Bjork, Jack Johnson).

Since the launch of 'Tanto Tempo' in 2000, it has sold over 2.5 million records and has been featured on seven film soundtracks (including "Next Stop Wonderland," "Bubble," "Closer" and most recently 2010's "Eat Pray Love") and seven TV series (Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Nip/Tuck ...).
