Larissa de Macedo Machado (born 30 March 1993, Rio de Janeiro), known professionally as Anitta , is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, dancer, occasional television host, and actress. Anitta was named by the Associação Paulista de Críticos de Arte (APCA) as "revelation of the year in music" for 2013. She has received numerous accolades, including four Latin American Music Awards along with nominations for eight Latin Grammy Awards. She has won seven MTV Europe Music Awards, and became the first Brazilian artist to win the award for Best Latin American Act.

Upon the release of her debut single "Meiga e Abusada" (2012), Anitta signed a recording contract with Warner Music Brazil in January 2013. In July 2013, she released her self-titled debut album, which produced four hit singles on Brazilian record charts and was certified platinum. Her second studio album, Ritmo Perfeito (2014), achieved commercial success in Lusophone countries, and was accompanied by the release of her first live album, Meu Lugar , on the same day.

In 2015, Anitta released her third studio album, Bang , which was certified platinum and spawned four successful singles: "Deixa Ele Sofrer"; the title track "Bang"; "Essa Mina é Louca"; and "Cravo e Canela". The album played a crucial role in propelling Anitta as a major force within the Brazilian and Portuguese record charts. In 2017, Anitta released her first full song in Spanish, although titled in Portuguese, "Paradinha", which accelerated her crossover to Spanish-language Latin and reggaetón genres. Later, she received critical acclaim for her trilingual fourth studio-visual album, Kisses (2019), which earned her a nomination for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album.

Her fifth studio album, Versions of Me (2022), was preceded by its lead single, "Envolver", which topped Spotify's Global Top 50 chart, making Anitta the first solo Brazilian and the first solo Latin American artist to do so. "Envolver" went on to peak at number one on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and number two on Billboard Global, making Anitta the first Brazilian artist to lead a global music chart. In 2022, Anitta became the first Brazilian artist to win a MTV Video Music Awards category, as well as an American Music Award. Anitta received her first major Grammy nomination, for Best New Artist, at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
