Beatrice Mason was raised in a musical home in Rio and started studying music and singing in choirs at the age of 6. Her mother is a choir conductor and encouraged both Beatrice and her sister to learn musical theory and to play instruments.
However, when the time came to choose a career, Beatrice decided to go to law school and practiced law for some time both in Brasil and in the United States.
For the past 8 years, after leaving law practice, she has been performing and developing a cult following in Rio de Janeiro and other cities in Brasil, as well as in Europe . Beatrice performed to standing room only crowds at the international music conference, Midem 2012 in Cannes , France, which took place last January. Her first highly acclaimed CD, Mosaico received excellent reviews and brought forward a new generation of very talented composers whose songs were recorded by Beatrice.
Besides promoting her Cd Mosaico, Beatrice also is dedicated to other projects, having recently staged a tribute for Nick Drake.
Her next project, that has already been granted a government sponsorship, shall focus on the songs of South-American writers and composers Jorge Drexler, Vitor Ramil and Kevin Johansen and this will be recorded both in Brasil and in the United States in 2013.
Beatrice is also producing plus writing her next solo album, to be released in 2013 as well. She will be collaborating with several top USA producers / writers.
