According to recent reports, Marília, born on July 22 1995, was popularly known as the "Queen of Sofrência," and a great interpreter of Sertaneja music — a pop style with origins in the interior of south-central Brazil in the decade of 1920.
Although she was born in the municipality of Cristianópolis, 90 kilometers from the capital of the state of Goiás, the singer grew up in Goiânia and became involved with the world of music in the church she attended, starting when she was 12-years-old.
