She is notorious for being a former member of Turma do Balão Mágico, an attraction presented by her and other members during the mornings of TV Globo between 1983 and 1986, selling more than 10 million records. Simony was born in São Paulo, in a po[CENSORED]r housing project by Cohab. From a poor family, at the age of 3, he accompanied the family of singers, as he lived in his grandfather's circus. That's when she insisted that her mother, Maricleuza Benelli, take her to the Raul Gil program, where she made several appearances after a successful first performance. Finally, in 1983, she was invited alongside Fofão (Orival Pessini), Cascatinha (Castrinho), Tob, Michael Biggs (Mike) and, years later, Jairzinho, to present the program Balão Mágico, on TV Globo. , which would consecrate her. It debuted on March 7, 1983 on the mornings of Rede Globo, the children's A Turma do Balão Mágico or simply Balão Mágico, when it led the audience for 3 years in a row. Simony soon became the little princess of Globo and aroused the love of several short people at that time. Between concerts and interviews, the group managed to sell more than 10 million copies, in just 5 LP's released. She was also part of the cast of the program Fofão. Fofão is a fictional character played by Orival Pessini, who became very po[CENSORED]r among Brazilian children in the 1980s. In the program Balão Mágico, Fofão made his first appearance in 1983. Initially, he did not speak, he only made sounds that were interpreted by Simony. With the success of the character, who increasingly gained space on the show, Orival Pessini created the doll Fofinho, which reached many sales. It was absolute success. Simony joined the band at age 6, partnering with Tob until 1984, when Tob recorded his last LP. Despite the age difference (5 years), she and Tob formed a beautiful duo, scoring hits such as "Se enamora", "PR Você", "Mãe dam um dinheirinho", "Você e eu" etc. Thus, Simony got to know the fame and affection from all over Brazil. With 3 years of Magic Balloon, his companion Tob started to show signs of entering adolescence, going through voice changes and becoming noticeably taller than the other children. CBS, the group's record label, thought this could be a problem and made an important decision: It dropped Tob from the group. Leaving the band the following year, he recorded a solo LP, without success. After that, the Magic Balloon began to decay, as it lost one of its original members. Jairzinho was left with the task of forming a pair with Simony, but this duet lasted only 2 Balão's LPS's (since, in the 1985, there is almost no singular presence of the members, and yes, appeal to the choir), and when the band ended , in 1986, CBS made a new plan for the two. The group lasted from 1982 to 1986 and remained on the mornings of Rede Globo until June 28, 1986, when the last Balão Mágico program would air.
