Lua Blanco (born March 5, 1987) is a Brazilian actress, singer, songwriter, TV host, and model. Blanco has been recognized for her talent, charisma and her ability to play different roles. She achieved success on the telenovela Rebelde and as a member of its accompanying band, Rebeldes, which received one gold, two platinum, and one double-platinum album awards. Band members included Arthur Aguiar, Chay Suede, Micael Borges, Mel Fronckowiak and Sophia Abrahão. Lua performed about 90 shows over a span of three years, for a total of over 1.2 million spectators in Brazil.
During her career, she received nine nominations for the Shorty Awards, winning once as 'Vox Populi', for having the most nominations in the "Actress" category. Blanco was also voted the most suitable artist for all editions of Capricho Awards and was the only person to win all the categories in which she was nominated. In 2012, Blanco was voted the 71st-greatest Brazilian of all time, in a televised award ceremony; Lua was recognized as "a talent of the new generation." The program was intended "to elect who did more for the nation that stood out for his legacy to society."
Lua Blanco is the daughter of musician Billy Blanco Junior and musician and English teacher Maria Claudia Blanco. She is the granddaughter of Billy Blanco, who was a successful bossa nova artist. Blanco was born in São Paulo and currently resides in Rio de Janeiro. She was raised in a large family of musicians; she has an older brother Pedro Sol and four younger siblings: Ana Terra, Estrela, Daniel, and Marisol. They were home-schooled by their mother in both English and Portuguese. The family moved often, including living in Peru for two years. The children entertained themselves with music and social projects.
She performed in musicals at a very young age in a band with her parents and siblings. Blanco and her siblings recorded an album called O Trem do Arco-Íris (The Rainbow Train), composed of children's songs in Portuguese and English.
After recording a CD, Família Blanco – É Natal (It's Christmas) (2004), when Blanco turned 18, she and her family group began performing in bars and other small venues in Rio de Janeiro. Their repertoire consisted of bossa nova and The Beatles songs. In 2006, while in college, Blanco toured with her new band, Lágrima Flor (Flower's Tear), for which she was vocalist and composer. (The name of the band was a tribute to a song of her grandfather, introducing his work to a new generation.) After five years she left the band for other projects.
