Founded last year, Mendes brings her latest collaboration “The Bossa Nova Project” to Brookfield Library. This project focuses on "happiness through music and celebrates diversity through a blend of Jazz, Bossa Nova, and Mendes originals to bring musical worlds together."

Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Mendes began classical piano studies at the age of four, later moving to the United States where her studies expanded to include voice and jazz. While in high school she studied at the Education Center for the Arts (ECA), in New Haven performing throughout New Haven County.
