In 2006 Vera joined and studied in a theatre group named “Os Mandrágoras” with the well-known teacher Almeida Manuel Sousa. The group represented there plays called “Mandrágora em series” during two years in several cities of Portugal. Furthermore she worked in the famous theatre/musical house called “Chapito” (Circus arts school in Lisbon).
In 2008 her musical career started in Germany, where she met some musicians like Jocelyn B.Smith, Aja Duo between others.


It was also in Germany when she got more interested in the beauty of Bossa Nova, through permanent contact with Brazilian musicians. In this period she discovered her passion for her Cape Verdean roots as well.
