She became famous in Brazil in late 2012 after publishing an audition video for the 2013 edition of Big Brother Brasil on YouTube, which became popular.

[citation needed] A friend of Inês suggested that she make an audition video for the TV Globo reality show Big Brother Brasil.

From then on, she made several parody videos, including a remix of the song "Scream & Shout" by singer Will.i.am and Britney Spears, with Inês’ own verses added to the track.

Soon after, numerous other parody remixes of tracks by artists including Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, DJ Snake and Rihanna, appeared online.

[5] The mobilization of her fans online led to the organization blocking internet traffic from Brazil to the website used to vote for potential nominees.

[6] In 2017, Inês participated in a promotional video for the release of the Netflix original series Orange Is the New Black, in which she speaks to protagonist Piper Chapman.

[7] The youngest daughter of nine in a humble, evangelical family, Inês was born and raised in Subúrbio Carioca, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro in the Vila Kennedy neighborhood.

At the age of 18 she decided to leave home and live alone in a rented studio apartment in Copacabana in search of financial and personal independence.

The pay as a teacher was low, and she needed money to support her parents who were struggling financially while also raising Inês’ two daughters, Monique and Júlia, who she had by two past relationships.

After eight years as a luxury showgirl in Munich, she decided to return to Brazil to be closer to her parents, and little by little, she managed to abandon prostitution to post videos on YouTube where she sang and danced, attracting a large fanbase and reaching stardom.

On the day of 20 February 2015, a video of Inês being allegedly physically assaulted by her then manager and advisor Thiago Araújo went public.

The fight would have taken place in the early hours of Wednesday the 18th at the Espaço Acústica concert hall in Rio de Janeiro, where Inês had performed and Thiago, also a DJ, had played.

Inês ended her video statement by saying that Thiago had apologized for the way he tried to get her off stage, that everything had already been worked out between them, and thanked her fans for their concern on the internet.
