Career

Before opting for a musical life, Alice studied law. Afterwards, she studied performing arts cênicas at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro.[1] Her first professional recording was at the age of 12 in her aunt Nana's album Desejo, specifically on the track "Seus Olhos",[2] written by her sister Juliana. Shortly after, they performed the song with Nana at a sold-out Canecão.[3][4] In 2007, she took part of the ending ceremony of the 2007 Pan American Games[3] with her father Danilo.[2]

In 2012, via a partnership between Kuarup and Sony Music, she released her self-titled first album, followed by a number of tours. The album is mainly original except for two cover songs, one originally by Dorival Caymmi and another by Björk.[5]

Two years later, she released her second album, Rainha dos Raios, this time with mostly cover versions and just two new songs, including a partnership with Michael Sullivan.[6] In 2015, her version of "Como Vês" was featured at Rede Globo's miniseries Felizes para Sempre?.[4][7]

In October 2015, Alice was preparing her first live DVD, directed by São Paulo Fashion Week creator Paulo Borges.[3]

In December 2017, she released the first single of her third album, Alice, due to January 12, 2018. The track is titled "Inocente", was co-written by Ana Carolina and received a promotional video directed by Allexia Galvão.[8]

In 27 May 2019, Caymmi released her fourth album, Electra, in which she sings all tracks accompanied by a piano only.[9] In December of the same year, she released a video directed by Pedro Freire for a version of "Areia Fina", from Electra, remixed by Maffalda. On the same occasion, she announced she would release in the first semester of the next year a sequel to the album titled Elétrika,[10] containing new, pop music created with Rodrigo Gorky.[11][12]

In January 2020, she released the first single of the album, "A Noite Inteira" (All Night Long), a partnership with com Àttooxxá written by her, Rafa Dias and Wallace "Chibatinha" Carvalho dos Santos[13][14] and produced by Rodrigo Gorky, Maffalda and Zebu, from Brabo Music.[14]

In February 2020, she released the song "Elétrika", featuring Baianas Ozadas which was part of a campaign by Cemig to alert people on how to prevent electrical accidents during carnival in Belo Horizonte.[15]

Personal life

When asked about her religion, Alice said:[7]

Formally, I never followed any religion. [...] I'm afraid of saying I'm religious, because it foreshadows doctrine. Here's how it goes: I am highly mystical, but I'm no hippie that knows natal chart. I value and admire behavioral archetypes, just like I do with Greek gods and stuff.
