Giovanna was born in São Paulo, Brazil.
A daughter of two dancers, she grew up in theaters and rehearsals surrounded by art and music. In her childhood she was always singing and recording sounds of the city, like a diary of her life. With vinyl and tape collections as an 80's child did, she was in love with boleros sung by Dalva de Oliveira, Marlene Dietrich, Stephani Grapelli records, and of course great Brazilian music of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Hermeto Pascoal, Baden Powell, Elis Regina, Marisa Monte...
Her debut as a singer was in Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, singing Tom Jobim by the Festival ‘America em Scena’, at the age of fourteen.
In 1996 she moved with her family to Weimar, Germany, where she started a big cultural adventure, learning the German culture, singing Brazilian music in venues of Weimar, Leipzig, Jena and Halle.
Some years later Giovanna moved to Marseille, France, where she learned French and started to discover the chansons and East-European music as well, finding an affinity to this music in her voice.
In the year 2000 she started vocal coaching by tenor David Lee Brewer, who brought her a new approach to vocal technique and knowledge of her voice.
In 2002 she performed in Kassel, Germany, in the dance theater production of ‘Pasión el Tango’, singing with the tango/jazz band Pasiango. Together they recorded an album under production of the Staatstheater Kassel 2004.
One year later she performed in the play ‘Aymineh und Aladdin’, singing in Turkish.
After studying Cultural Studies in Frankfurt(O), she moved to Guadalajara, Mexico. Singing in more than six languages and in a variety of genres, Giovanna loves to mix music styles and genres, performing with Guitarist Carlos Corona as ‘Babel Collage’ since 2009. They have also created the band ‘Aracombó’, a World Music fusion between Mexico, Cuba and Brazil, recording an album in 2014.
In Mexico Giovanna collaborated with different musicians and groups such as the French music band ‘Les Femmes de Serge’, and the Klezmer/jazz band ‘Sherele'. They featured her in their album ‘Goulash Birria’ in 2012, singing in Yiddish.
As a homage to Mexican music, Giovanna recorded in 2016 her first solo album called ‘Vereda Tropical’, a fusion between Mexican and Brazilian Music with her own compositions
as well. The album featured great musicians of Mexico and Brazil such as Rogério Caetano, Bebe Krammer, Milton Mori, Carlos Corona, Agustin Sandoval Quintero, Nirl Cano, among others.
