Isabela Cristina Correia de Lima Lima (born 3 September 1990),[1][3] known professionally as IZA, is a Brazilian singer, songwriter and dancer, who rose to fame recording cover songs of artists such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Sam Smith on her self-titled YouTube channel. She has also featured her songs on Spotify and SoundCloud.[4][5] In May 2016, she signed a contract with Warner Music Brasil.[6] Her debut album, Dona de Mim, was released in 2018 and was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album.[7]

Early life

[edit]

Iza was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. At the age of six, her family moved to Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, where she began singing and performing at family parties and church events. After moving back to Rio de Janeiro at the age of eighteen, she got a degree in advertising from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro and then she started her YouTube channel shortly thereafter.[8]

Career

[edit]

At the age of 19 she returned to Rio de Janeiro and continued with that activity here as well. In 2009, at the age of eighteen, she attended the advertising course at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), graduating in 2013 and then began working as a video editor. In 2015, in parallel, she created a channel on YouTube and began posting music cover videos.[9]

At the end of 2017, she was the main attraction of Pré-Reveillon POPline.[10] On 3 February 2018, she participated in the Planeta Atlântida festival.[11]

Her album Dona de Mim was ranked as the 41st best Brazilian album of 2018 by the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone magazine[12] and among the 25 best Brazilian albums of the first half of 2018 by the São Paulo Association of Art Critics.[13]

In May 2021, Iza was named one of Time Magazine's Next Generation Leaders.[14]

On 2 September 2022, Iza released a three-song EP that makes up her upcoming album. Named Três, the project becomes a promotion for the singer's performance on the main stage of Rock in Rio 2022, who became the first black Brazilian singer to perform on the main stage.[15]

Iza revealed that in February 2023 she scrapped an album that was fully done. With that, the artist produced a new album in about 5 months. The first single from the album "Fé nas Malucas" in collaboration with MC Carol was released on 27 July 2023[16]

On July 30, the release date of the album AFRODHIT was announced, which was released on 3 August 2023, with 13 new tracks.[17]

In 2016, Iza began dating Brazilian music producer Sérgio Santos. She married him in the Nossa Senhora da Glória do Outeiro Church, in Rio de Janeiro on 16 December 2018.[18] Iza announced their divorce on 10 October 2022.[19]

Iza identifies herself as a feminist.[20][21] In 2022, Iza declared she is demisexual.[22]

On 14 February 2023, she announced that she started dating Brazilian soccer player Yuri Lima.[23] On April 10, 2024, Iza announced that she was pregnant with her first daughter.[24] On July 10, Iza announced that the relationship had come to an end due to the football player's infidelity.[25]
