Originally known for the bright blue hair she sported during her early career and her outspoken stances, she reached fame in 2014 as a funk ostentação/ousadia artist with the hit single "Parará Tibum"; following her conversion to Evangelicalism in 2023 and the release of the gospel song "Me Guia",[1][2] she has since declared her withdrawal from the music industry.

[4] Her musical career officially began in 2013, when she uploaded to YouTube the song "Salve, MC Kauan", a tribute to the eponymous musician, her future boyfriend and, later, fiancé; it reached over 15,000 views in a day after he shared it in his Facebook page.

A music video, produced by KondZilla, was released in 2015 and reached 6 million views in less than two weeks;[10][11] however, the song was later removed from all platforms due to allegations of copyright infringement from Disney.

[16] By the end of that year, a remixed version of "Surtada" became the most streamed song on Spotify in Brazil, with Zaqui recording a video on her Instagram to celebrate it.

[23] In late 2023, Zaqui stated she planned to switch her focus from funk to gospel music after converting to Evangelicalism;[1] her first foray into the genre, "Me Guia", was released on November 3.

[48] In the aftermath of her conversion to Evangelicalism in 2023, Zaqui announced on May 29, 2024, on her social media that she was nine months sober following a self-described "marijuana addiction" which, according to her, lasted for the past nine years.
