Biography
Monte was born in Rio de Janeiro, daughter of the engineer Carlos Saboia Monte and Sylvia Marques de Azevedo Monte. On her father's side, she is descended from the Saboias, one of the oldest Italian families in Brazil. She studied singing, piano, and drums as a child, and began studying opera singing at 14.
At the age of 19, Monte went to Italy to study bel canto, while also performing Brazilian music in bars and clubs, leading her to meet famous producer Nelson Motta. Upon her return to Rio in 1987, Motta produced her live concert,
Career
In 1988, Monte signed with EMI and took the opportunity of Rede Manchete wanting a TV special covering her live concert to release it as the LP and VHS MM in 1989, a critical and commercial success pushed by the single "Bem Que Se Quis", a Motta-penned Portuguese version of Pino Daniele's "E Po' Che Fa'".
Monte owns the rights to all of her songs; it was her chief demand for renewing her contract with EMI Music.
Her 2008 single "Não é Proibido" was used in the soundtrack of a video game by EA Sports, 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.
