Early Life and education

Luísa Sonza is now 27 years old (born July 18, 1998). She was born and raised in Tuparendi, a small municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. Her father, César Luís Sonza, worked in agriculture, and her mother, Eliane Gerloff, was a physical education teacher.

She has two siblings: a brother named Fernando Umberto Gerloff and a younger sister, Sofia Gerloff Sonza. Her parents separated around 2018. Sonza‘s ancestry includes Italian and German roots.

She began singing at an early age—reports indicate she sang in festivals and in the home setting from her childhood. By age seven, she auditioned and joined the local group Sol Maior, which performed at community events, weddings, fairs, and church gatherings.

She continued performing in that setting over many years, sometimes doing many shows per month, which helped her gain performance experience and exposure.

Regarding formal education, she reportedly enrolled for a law course (direito) for one semester in college before deciding to abandon it and focus fully on her music career.

Personal Life

In March 2016, Luisa Sonza began a relationship with Brazilian YouTuber and comedian Whindersson Nunes, who publicly serenaded her with a song by singer Tiago Iorc. They became engaged in March 2017.

In February 2018, they got married in a civil and religious ceremony, held in the “Capela dos Milagres” in Alagoas, with about 350 guests. The marriage lasted until April 2020, when Whindersson announced their separation, saying they had grown apart though remaining friends.

Luísa has spoken in interviews that she does not plan to have biological children and would prefer adoption. In terms of her orientation, she identifies as bisexual.

Career

Luísa Sonza‘s public career began when she started posting cover performances on her YouTube channel. That content earned her attention and a following, earning her recognition as one of Brazil’s rising “cover” artists.

In May 2017, she signed a contract with Universal Music Brasil and released her first single, “Good Vibes.” Later that year she released “Olhos Castanhos,” a song she wrote, which followed in July. In October 2017 she released her self-titled EP, which included tracks such as “Não Preciso de Você Pra Nada” (featuring Luan Santana) and “Rebolar.”

In 2018 she released additional singles like “Devagarinho,” which charted on Spotify Brazil’s Top 50. She also recorded “Nunca Foi Sorte” for the soundtrack of the Globo telenovela O Sétimo Guardião and made cameo appearances on television.

Her debut full album, Pandora, was released in 2019. It included songs such as Garupa, Fazendo Assim, and Bomba Relógio. In 2021 she released her second studio album, Doce 22, which brought singles like Modo Turbo, Melhor Sozinha, Penhasco, and collaborations with other Brazilian artists.

That same year, due to negative social media attacks and mental health considerations, she briefly paused public activity, then returned with renewed artistic direction.

In 2022, she left Universal and signed with Sony Music Brazil in a deal reportedly worth around US$20 million, to support her ambitions for an international expansion.

In August 2023 she released her third studio album, Escândalo Íntimo, which featured collaborations with Demi Lovato and others. The album broke streaming records in Brazil, with over 15 million plays in its first day on Spotify. Singles like “Campo de Morango,” “Principalmente Me Sinto Arrasada,” and “Penhasco2” stood out.
