Pitty

Prscillla Leone, Pitty, was Born on October 7th, 1977 in Salvador, Bahia.
Her father Luiz was a Merchant, and her mother Tina was a housewife. Since she was very young she has always been interested in music. From 10 to 14 years old, she lived im Porto Seguro, Bahia and it was there that she decided to form a band, after she had watched a rock show. In 1998, Pitty and three frieds Liz, Carol and Lala, put a band called “Shes”, where she is the drummer. For her it was one of the funniest periods of her life. They didn’t record any album, but made shows and pictures to advertise her job.

After Pitty met Pedro Inkoma’s guitarist and became their lead singer. Like all bands, they rehearsed in the garage, they played in little parties. The band stayed on the road for five years. With some good material but not her compositions, she went to Rio de Janeiro where she met Rafael a musical producer.

Pitty started to record the album “Admirável Chip Novo”, but she didn’t have a guitarist and bass player. The drummer was Duda(her current boyfriend). Pitty invited Dunga to play bass and Peu to play the guitar. Peu was from the band “Úteros em Fúria”. Then Pitty and his band recorded the first clip and success came up. “máscara” became one of the most requested clips of national music. In 2003, Pitty was a candidate to win VMB (Video Music Brazil), of MTV, but Detonautas won the Prize.after they released another clip “Admirável Chip Novo”, which had the same name of her CD. “Teto de Vidro” was released in São Paulo in October, 2003 and it was the most requested clip of the program Top 20 of MTV.
In 2004, Pitty won the “National Music Multishow Prize”. She dedicated it to the band and to her fan club.

On October 5th, 2004 she won the Prize VMB for the best rock clip with (Equalize). By the end of 2004, she made the clip “Semana Que Vem” that is about the time we loose when we make a mistake of not taking important decisions of our lives.
