Larissa de Macedo Machado (born 30 March 1993),[2] known professionally as Anitta (Portuguese: [ɐˈnitɐ] ⓘ), is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, and occasional television host. She has received numerous accolades, including four Latin American Music Awards and eight Latin Grammy Award nominations. She has won eight MTV Europe Music Awards and was the first Brazilian artist to be named Best Latin American Act.[3][4][5]

Shortly after the release of her debut single, "Meiga e Abusada" (2012), Anitta signed a recording contract with Warner Music Brazil in January 2013. She released her self-titled debut album in July 2013, which produced four hit singles, and was certified platinum.[3] Her second studio album, Ritmo Perfeito (2014), achieved commercial success in Lusophone countries,[6] and was released the same day as her first live album, Meu Lugar.[6][7]

Anitta released her third studio album, Bang, in 2015. It was certified platinum and spawned four successful singles: "Deixa Ele Sofrer”, the title track "Bang”, Essa Mina é Louca”, and "Cravo e Canela”. The album cemented Anitta’s standing as a major star on the Brazilian and Portuguese record charts. In 2017, Anitta released her first fully Spanish song, which accelerated her crossover to Spanish-language Latin and reggaetón genres despite its Portuguese title, "Paradinha”. Later, she received critical acclaim for her trilingual fourth studio-visual album, Kisses (2019), which earned her a nomination for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album.

Her fifth studio album, Versions of Me (2022), contained the pre-released lead single, "Envolver”, which topped Spotify's Global Top 50 chart, a first for a Brazilian or Latin American solo artist.[8] "Envolver" peaked at number one on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and number two on Billboard Global, making Anitta the first Brazilian artist to lead a global music chart.[9] [10] In 2022, Anitta became the first Brazilian artist to win a MTV Video Music Awards category and an American Music Award.[11][12] Anitta received her first major Grammy nomination, for Best New Artist, at the 2023 Grammy Awards.[13][14] In 2024, she released her sixth studio album, Funk Generation.
