Biography

Vianna was born in São Paulo. At the age of 13, her father, a sportsman, died. She was forced to pay for her studies the following year, as her mother, a nursing assistant, had to take care of the house and two other children. Vianna began taking care of two children, aged 5 and 7 years old, who were the daughters of a neighbor. She began her modelling career as a teenager, after knocking on the door of several agencies until she managed to schedule fashion shows and TV commercials. Vianna walked the runways in Italy, Canada, Australia and Germany.[1]

Vianna made her television debut on América in 2005, portraying Drica. The following year, she had a role in Sinhá Moça as well as in O Profeta. Vianna sang for three years in the vocal group Black Voices.[2]
