Born in Londrina, Vilela approached music as an adolescent, learning to play the guitar and composing at 12 years old.[2] She had her breakout in 2016, when a clip of her song "Trem Bala" ('Bullet Train') went viral through YouTube and WhatsApp, collecting in a short time millions of views.[2][3][4] The success of the song was increased when model Gisele Bündchen posted a cover of the song on Instagram.[2][3] The song was eventually officially released in 2017, in an EP which included two versions of the song, one of them in a duet with Luan Santana.[3] The same year Virela released her first self-titled album, which was eventually nominated for Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album at the 19th Annual Latin Grammy Awards.[5]

In 2018, Vivela released an EP of cover versions of sertanejo songs, and her composition "Promete" became the theme song of the telenovela Espelho da Vida.[3] She released her second album, Contato, in 2019.[3] In 2023, she released the album Melhor Que Ontem.[6][7] The same year, she joined the platform OnlyFans.[6][8]
