With the dream of having her work recognized internationally, Gisele sent the material to the production company, who selected her for the blind auditions for the reality show. “I registered online and sent the video.

Gisele needs to raise almost R$4,000 before June 15 to be able to participate in the “Blind Audition”, the first stage of the reality show that will take place in Wales.

“Last year I didn’t go because it wasn’t possible, specifically for financial reasons. This year I’m doing a Kikanti campaign to raise money, because the expenses are a lot. I hope everything goes well now, because this is the second time I have this opportunity. It’s a dream I want to achieve and I hope it’s an opportunity, a window for me to be able to promote my work not only as a singer, but as a songwriter as well.”

With all this biography, the Santos singer asks for the help of the public in the region to overcome obstacles and achieve this goal during her journey. “I have studied piano since I was 12 years old, and I have always loved music. I teach piano and singing lessons in English and French, as well as choral and music history lessons. Music is my life! Therefore, I would like to ask for everyone’s collaboration because each one of you will make a difference in achieving this lifelong dream. I hope that my voice and my music reach people’s hearts. I do it and I have always composed music for love. “With all my heart, I ask you to think that this amount is only R$ 10.00, but it can change lives forever,” he concluded.
