Wanda Stuart

We present to you the Portuguese singer, actress, presenter and producer Wanda Stuart. A woman with an extraordinary voice.

When did you start singing?

I started singing very small, first for the family and neighbors, then in the various schools I attended.
I became a professional at the age of 14, performing at a Festa do Avante, which was the only cultural festival that existed in Portugal at the time … with a rock band with original themes.

Then I started singing in bars, hotels, restaurants, casinos, etc …
When I was in my early twenties, I started doing musical theater, with Filipe la Féria, after having already participated in some television series as an actress …
The rest is known to the general public …

What is your first memory on stage?
My first memory of a “real” stage is perhaps this Festa do Avante, where I performed on the Lisbon Stage, the second most important of the festival …

What are your musical references? Portuguese or foreign.
I have several musical references, and not only …
In Portugal, the singer with whom I identified most was Simone de Oliveira for her strength of interpretation of words, among other performers, such as Fernando Giräo, Sérgio Godinho, Vitorino, etc …
In international music, Liza Minnelli, Edith Piaf, Carmen Miranda, Shirley Bassey, Kate Bush, Freddy Mercury, Ney Matogrosso, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethania, Annie Lenox, and many more …

You are known for having a strong personality and style, please tell us a little bit about your image and style, how you dress…
I did not create my image in a premeditated way. I always liked different things, always liked to dress me and comb differently from others …

And then, I was fortunate to have the privilege of meeting and working with some of the best Portuguese stylists and tailors, like the great José Carlos who helped me a lot to create my own style and “played” with me and my image as if I were a mannequin.
I have worn several designers such as Louis Barber, John Rôlo, Fatima Lopes, among others …
My blue hair turned out to be my brand image, after having experienced other colors. The most eccentric cuts and hairstyles have always been a constant in my life and my hair has become my “calling card”.
