"It happened in a week and it was really crazy. Rebecca launched herself as an MC with her debut single "Cai de Boca," composed by Ludmilla and produced by DJ Zebrinha. "I received a gift from Ludmilla. I am very grateful to her. Prohibidão was by DJ Zebrinha, and since she left, everything changed in my life." Managed by Rennan da Penha, Rebecca does not intend to leave the post of Queen of the Passistas that she has already occupied for 3 years. "I intend to continue in Salgueiro. It is my second home there."
She was the Queen of the "Passistas da Escola de Samba Salgueiro" from 2016 until 2019, and decided to invest more in her artistic career, also investing in singing, in addition to dancing and advertising campaigns in which she participated, and in the beginning she started singing funk carioca, however in interviews she revealed that she would love to sing samba, because she sang this musical rhythm informally when she was trying to start her career.

She stayed in the guardianship system until she was six months old, when her grandfather managed to get her out, and final custody was awarded to her aunt and uncle.
