Priscilla Novaes Leone (born
October 7,
1977), better known
as
Pitty, is a Brazilian
hard
rock singer.
Biography
Pitty was
born in Salvador
, Bahia, Brazil
, the
daughter of a musician. She spent much of her childhood in Porto Seguro
, another Brazilian town, also in Bahia
state. She grew up listening to various bands, including
The Beatles,
Elvis Presley,
Faith
No More,
Pantera,
Nirvana and
Metallica.
In 1996, she moved back to Salvador and played in various garage
bands. She was the vocalist for the hardcore band
Inkoma, and released several albums with the band.
When Inkoma ended, she was invited by the producer
Rafael Ramos to record a solo album.
In 2003, she released her debut album
Admirável Chip Novo,
which sold more than 250,000 copies, being certified Platinum. The
singles "Máscara", "Admirável Chip Novo" and "Teto de Vidro" were
successful in Brazil, and "Equalize" hit number one. The album
title was inspired by
Aldous Huxley's
Brave New World (translated
to Portuguese as "Admirável Mundo Novo").
After
Admirável Chip Novo, the expectations for Pitty's
second album were high. Her second album,
Anacrônico is
heavier and more daring than its predecessor. It sold more than
150,000 (Platinum). During an interview around the release of her
second album, Pitty and her band said that they had listened to too
much
Queens of the Stone Age
while recording the album. The influence is clear, especially in
the heavy and slow songs, "lightly and tireless feeling of
Josh Homme stand in air".
Her biggest hits to date were "Admirável Chip Novo", "Equalize",
"Máscara", "Memórias", "Na Sua Estante" ,"Pulsos" and "Me
adora".
