Daúde began her musical career singing in plays and nightclubs. She obtained the opportunity to record her first CD "Daúde" in 1995. She received critical acclaim, winning such awards as the Sharp Music APCA (Association of Art Critics São Paulo), and the Journal of Brazil Readers Award.

Two years later, she released "Daúde # 2", produced by Celso Fonseca and producer Will Mowat English. In 1999 she released "Simbora", a remix CD of songs from previous albums, aiming to link the new interpretation to the pleasure of dancing. The sound of the new CD's music fuses definitely Daúde, the MPB and the resources used in electronic music, affirming the importance of music producers and DJs as creative artists and necessary in this current musical scene.

Daúde was the first Brazilian to be hired by Real World Records started by Peter Gabriel. Her latest album "Neguinha I Love You" in 2003, honored women and contributed to the international Brazilian music influences, transcending established stereotypes or cliches.[2]
