Olga De Souza biography

Olga was born on 16th July 1968 in Rio De Janeiro. Her father is a musician and her mother a cooker. She has 2 brothers : Paulo Roberto who is a guitarist in Rome (Italy) and Ademar who is a dancer (or a singer) in Spain. She took lessons in a samba school. But her first job was not at all artistic, seeing that she worked for a bank in Rio, the Caixa Economica Federal. Soon she had to make a choice : by chance she met the football star Pele who advised her to chose... both ! So during some time, Olga worked in her Bank in the daytime and danced in the night...

Some magazines attribute her a carreer of dancer in the US. Anyway, a producer proposed her to record a Spanish version for the Lambada. Afterwards she lived for a while in Madrid where she presented a TV show.

In the early 90's she came to Italy where her brother offered her a place to stay. She met producer Francesco Bontempi who first signed her as a chorist. Shortly after their first meeting, Olga and Francesco started a new project called 'Corona ' (finding how Olga could dance, he told her 'You dance so well, I give you a crown !'). She had to learn the English accent for her first single The Rhythm Of The Night. After finishing the recording, she went back to Rio for a while. 3 months later her producer called her on the phone : 'The Rhythm Of The Night is number one in Italy !' She now lives in Rome but she comes back to Brazil once a year. She is a real star there and she can't go out without being accompanied by bodyguards.

Olga is 1,78 m tall and finds her legs too long because it was hard for her to find a man tall enough for her ! Now she is married with Mario Luis, a Brasilian dancer, with whom she performed for a show in France. Her favourite color is black. She has a tiny dog called Lipi, so small the she is always afraid to walk on him. Her favourite meal is 'spaghetti a la carbonara'. She loves white roses. She is a fan of Prince, Stevie Wonder, Coolio, Whitney Houston, George Michael and Barbra Streisand.

According to her, her main quality is to be patient, and her defaults are the fact that she spents to much money and that she can't stand authority. She collects handbags and shoes. She drives an Alfa Romeo.

There was a huge debate on the question wether Olga really sings or not. It's a fact that she could be heard singing a capella and live in many broadcasts... She does have a voice and an amazing presence of stage. From the Corona third album, her real voice was used.
