• Other Information: Larissa began her career as a cover girl for Xuxa, doing TV commercials and photos for magazines when she was just three years old as a model. At the age of six, Larissa began her career as a singer, performing the great country music hits of that time, such as Zezé di Camargo and Luciano, Chitãozinho and Xororó, Leandro and Leonardo. At the beginning of 1995, at the age of 10, she, together with Will Kawamura, passed a test at the record company Sony Music to sing songs from the soundtrack of the anime "Os Cavaleiros do Zodiaco", broadcast by the now extinct Rede Manchete. Thus, the duo Larissa & William was formed, who performed several songs from the album that sold more than 1 million copies, earning them Gold, Platinum and Double Platinum Records. With this success, the duo traveled Brazil and participated in TV programs such as Angel Mix, Bom Dia & Cia, Xuxa Hits, Programa Hebe and Programa Livre, where they received the gold record live alongside the duo Sandy and Junior, who also participated in the program.
• The following year, they recorded the theme CD for Parque Beto Carrero World for Sony, and without the duo - but still as Larissa -, the opening theme for Guerreiras Mágicas de Rayearth.
• Three years later, Larissa decided to pursue a solo career and released the CD Tudo vai change (1999), all set to an axé rhythm (at a time of great repercussion for the genre in Brazil). His first album, however, was not widely received.
• In the middle of the last decade (2005/2006), Larissa continued her search for a space in the music scene and, thus, recorded a demo CD in order to promote her work. This demo is today, in a way, considered by fans as a possible second solo album for the singer. Unlike the first album, this album features songs in a romantic pop style, which included a Portuguese version of the song "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" (by singer Shania Twain). This CD was “leaked” on the internet at the time and today fans can enjoy this work.
• In 2001 Larissa began to be part of Banda On The Rock's, which years later changed its name to Banda Montana, focused on the country segment, remaining for 10 years, having been elected the best country singer on the circuit three times. The band, at first, did covers of international artists of the genre, but, with the public's increasing support, the need for work with a more national color was felt and the band decided to invest in Brazilian versions of the songs and even own compositions.
• With the po[CENSORED]rity of the university country music rhythm, she left Banda Montana and formed a duo "Larissa & Rafael", which conquered São Paulo and regions with their charisma and musicality. The duo released their first album in 2010 – Vem Voo, and worked on new songs before disbanding.
• Larissa is currently pursuing a solo career, making her new country CD available for download on her official website.
• In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of Knights of the Zodiac in Brazil, together with Edu Falaschi, Ricardo Cruz and Rodrigo Rossi, Larissa participated in the "Knights of the Zodiac - In Concert" tour in 2014 and 2015.
• In 2017 she is joining a new musical project. She teamed up with 2 Brazilian anime singers Ricardo Cruz and Rodrigo Rossi to form the Brazilian anime song band called Danger3.
• Together with Danger3 she released the EP Neo Tokyo which has 3 songs in Portuguese inspired by the Japanese manga Akira composed by her and Danger3 which was released this year 2017 on July 13th by the Arte Entretenimento record label by musician and music producer Renato Tribuzy .
• In 2018, in honor of Jaspion's 30 years in Brazil, she recorded with Ricardo Cruz, Akira Kushida and arranger Lucas Araújo, a medley with songs from the series' soundtrack.
