Luiza Pereira began her career as the lead composer, instrumentalist, and vocalist of INKY. With the band, she released "Parallels" (2013), "Primal Swag" (2014), "Malrip Gaws" (2015), and "Animania" (2016). In 2011, her composition "No One’s Town" was selected in a global competition by Philips, leading the band to perform with the Metropole Orkest in Amsterdam, with production by Steve Lilliwhite (The Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, U2). From 2012 to 2018, Luiza gained recognition with the band, performing at festivals across Brazil and internationally.
Born and raised in São Paulo, the artist shaped her musical identity through influences from alternative rock, electronic music, and Brazilian music, including Radiohead, Elza Soares, PJ Harvey, and Björk. With a musical language that moves between darkness, melancholy, and aggression, Luiza explores contrasts and dualities of herself and her lyrics through her compositions. After a musical hiatus, she returns now as MADRE, the stage name for her solo career, announced with the double single CAOS/TRANSE. In 2024, she released her debut album, titled Vazio Obsceno, produced by herself and Luccas Villela.
