A Portuguese-descendent, Tania first found Fado as a child when hearing
her godmother sing in the celebrations that were typical of her family.

Her interest in Portuguese culture continued along the years while she
was a student in Portuguese school and dancer in the Folkloric Group
Ramos de Oliveira in Pawtucket, RI.

With a passion for Portuguese music already established as a child,
Tania began to hear the contemporary Fado singers of Portugal and with
them discovered the energy of the Modern Fado.

This new sound of Fado stimulated Tania to explore and to appreciate the
Traditional Fado. It was this type of music that Tania found her destiny
and that reached her splendor.

Tania was born on October 5, 1984, in the city of Providence in the
state of Rhode Island.

She is a daughter of Portuguese emigrants naturally from São Brás de
Alportel in the province of  Algarve, is fluent in English and
Portuguese, and has dual citizenship, American and Portuguese.

In May of 2007, she graduated from the University of Massachusetts in
Dartmouth with her Bachelor’s in Portuguese and in May of 2013
received her Master’s degree in “Master’s of Arts in Teaching ”.
Currently, Tania is licensed and teaches Portuguese.

Feeling the longing of singing Fado again and having had recorded her
first album in 2004, “ Fado Inspirado ” (Inspired Fado), Tania
intends to continue and to interpret Fado between the communities of the
United States of America as well as abroad when opportunities arise.
