ABOUT
Gloria de Oliveira is a German-Brazilian multidisciplinary visual artist, musician and actor. She has been writing and performing music since childhood, at first aspiring to become an opera singer - through a twist of fate she ended up studying drama in London instead, working internationally as an actor for the stage, film and radio.
Wanting to further explore a multidisciplinary approach that combined her interest in performance, visual art and sound, De Oliveira began studying Fine Art at HFBK Hamburg and at École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. Her experimental short films and music videos have been screened and awarded at film festivals around the world and in 2013, she was selected for the Berlinale Talent Campus at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival.
In 2017, she started to release tracks under the project name lovespells, culminating in the 5-track EP LUA AZUL („Blue Moon“ in her native Portuguese). Since then, she has been working on new tracks under her own name, taking them with her on concerts at Golden Pudel Club, Uebel & Gefährlich, C/O Pop and Further Festival.
In the spring of 2018, Gloria won the KRACH + GETOESE prize, Hamburg’s award and support programme for up-and-coming musicians, which has enabled her to work on her two self-produced EPs LA ROSE DE FER and LEVRES DE SANG at Clouds Hill Recordings, both released digitally and on limited edition cassette tape through her own imprint LA DOUBLE VIE and the cult cassette label DISPERSION RECORDS in late 2019.
On March 27, 2020 her debut album FASCINATION was released by the Cologne label Reptile Music and distributed by Cargo Records on CD and Vinyl, including remixes by artists such as Gudrun Gut, Box And The Twins and Fragrance. In the fall of 2020, she was supposed to support the US duo Tempers on their tour through Germany, which was cancelled due to COVID19.
In 2021, she composed & produced the score for Peter Thiers’ play PARADIESISCHE BAUTEN, which premiered at the renowned Thalia Theater in Hamburg in the summer of that year. She is currently working on her second full-length album and corresponding visuals.
