Hailing from Los Angeles, Ferreira’s journey to stardom began at the tender age of 15 when she inked her first record deal, spurred by the popularity of her early Myspace demos. Her EPs “Ghost” (2012) and “Night Time, My Time” have attained cult status, with hits like “Everything Is Embarrassing” etching her name in the annals of pop history.

In addition to her musical prowess, Ferreira’s talent has extended to the silver screen with notable roles in the Twin Peaks reboot, Elvis & Nixon, and Baby Driver, while also gracing the runways for fashion titans like Jimmy Choo, Karl Lagerfeld, and Calvin Klein.

Despite her hiatus from the limelight, Ferreira continues to tease fans with glimpses of her upcoming album “Masochism” through singles like “Downhill Lullaby” and “Don’t Forget”. Her return to Australia promises to be a momentous occasion, marking a decade-long wait for her dedicated fans.

Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House and RISING hold significant cultural importance, serving as platforms to celebrate cutting-edge and iconic artists. These events redefine the boundaries of contemporary music and art, embodying the spirit of creativity and innovation.

RISING, scheduled from 1 to 16 June 2024, promises to transform Melbourne’s CBD into a bustling hub of art, music, and performance, with Ferreira’s performance at Forum Melbourne set to be a highlight of the festival.
