Giulia Bourguignon Marinho (born 13 August 1999), known mononymously as Giulia (formerly Giulia Be), is a Brazilian singer. She first gained recognition in 2018 when she released the track "With You" with Brazilian DJ Zerb. In 2019, her song "Too Bad", was the soundtrack of soap opera "O Sétimo Guardião", in addition her song "Menina Solta" hit number #1 in Portugal.[1]

## Early life

[edit]

Giulia Bourguignon Marinho was born on May 13, 1999 in Rio de Janeiro, where she was raised.[2] She is the daughter of Adriana Marinho, who is also her manager,[3] and businessman Paulo Marinho.[4] She is the sister of presenter and comedian André Marinho[4] and Dany Marinho.[5] Be wrote her first song at the age of eight, and learned the piano and guitar around this time.[3]

During Rock in Rio 2017, she went with a friend to Maroon 5's dressing room to take a picture and ended up singing "She Will Be Loved" with the group members. After receiving praise from the band's guitarist Mickey Madden for her voice, she left school to pursue a music career.[6]

## Career

[edit]

In 2018, she signed with Warner Music and released her first single with Zerb titled "With You". In February 2019, Be released her solo debut single "Too Bad" in English. Shortly after its release, the song was featured in the soundtrack of opera O Sétimo Guardião, by Rede Globo, and also entered the top 50 viral of Spotify globally. In April of the same year, Be released "Chega", her second single and the first performed in Portuguese.[7]

In August 2019, she released her third single "Menina Solta". In December 2019 the song was listed in the Top 10 by Spotify Brazil. The singer released a Spanish version of the song, "Chiquita Suelta", due to the song's success in some Latin countries. In June 2020, Be's album with the song "Menina Solta" was certified platinum in Brazil. It was included in the soundtrack of the soap opera Amor sem Igual, on RecordTV. Be performed at Rock in Rio 2019 alongside Projota and Vitão.[8][9]

In March 2020, Be released "No Era Amor", her fourth single, and on 15 May her first EP, "Solta". The songs "If This Life Were A Movie" and "Relapse", also singles from the EP, had great repercussion. Be released "Unforgettable", her first partnership, with Luan Santana on October 9, 2020, also releasing the Spanish version of the song, "Inolvidable", on the same day. On December 18, Be released "I Love Me More" as the fifth single from the EP "Solta", along with the deluxe extended play version. In June 2021, she released the single "Lokko", chosen as the lead single for her new album. In June 2021, Giulia Be teamed up with David Carreira, Ludmilla and Preto Show, together they released the song "Vamos Com Tudo", official theme song for Portugal's selection for Euro 2020.[10]

At the end of 2020, Spotify announced that "Menina Solta" by Be was the most listened-to Portuguese song in Portugal through Spotify, second in all international songs to "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd.[citation needed]

In 2022, she starred in the Netflix film Beyond the Universe.
