Beatriz Duarte Leme (born 30 April 1997),[1] known professionally as Bea Duarte (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbɛa duˈaʁtʃi]) is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.[2][3][4] According to Folha de S.Paulo, she gained prominence among Generation Z in Brazil for her social media content, being described as vegan, autistic, and a practitioner of witchcraft, in addition to investing in compositions considered more complex and lyrically dense.[2] She works as an independent artist.[5][3]

In 2019, she released the single "Paz", marking the beginning of her career. In 2025, she released her debut album, Commedia D'arte, whose track "Pacto" was nominated at the BreakTudo Awards 2025 in the Independent Artist Release category.

Career

In July 2019, Duarte released her debut single, "Paz",[6] a voice-and-guitar composition.[7] The following year, she gained notoriety on TikTok in Brazil after creating content focused on vocal technique, including analyses of singers’ voices.[8] In October 2021, she released the song "Lilith"[4] as the lead single from her first extended play (EP). In September 2022, she collaborated with Concê and Scalon on the track "Tiro de Canhão".[9] Two months later, her indie pop single "Cantando" was released.[10][11] In 2023, the single "Tom" was released in January,[7] followed by the EP Mulheres Que Correm, in July, consisting of six tracks.[12] The project was inspired by the book Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés.[12] Among the EP's tracks, "Mar" achieved significant attention.[4]

In March 2024, Duarte featured on the track "Apocalipse" alongside musician TINN, included on his debut album Antisocial.[13][14] Two months later, she released the single "Supostamente", in which she addresses criticism and accusations, accompanied by a music video featuring drag queen Ismeiow.[15][16][17] In August, the song "Mar", which had already accumulated millions of streams on YouTube and Spotify, received a funk carioca remix produced by BeatWill.[18] The following month, the single "Vibes" was released.[19][20] In the same month, she performed at Estúdio Showlivre in a session broadcast on the project's YouTube channel, where she performed her most recently released song for the first time.[21] At the time, her music had accumulated approximately 14 million streams on Spotify.[21]

Duarte's debut studio album was announced in January 2025.[22] The album, titled Commedia D’arte,[23] was released in two acts: the first was released on 30 April, and the second on 31 October, completing the project. In March 2026, Duarte released the single "Não Vai Levar", in response to cases of femicide reported in Brazil in 2025.[24][1] She released the single that concludes the promotion of the album "Commedia D'arte", entitled "Adeus" on April 30th of the same year.

Personal life

Duarte was born in São Bernardo do Campo, a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.[3] At the age of 26, she was diagnosed with autism,[25] with the assessment also indicating giftedness.[26] She is openly pansexual.[27]
