Maria do Céu Whitaker Poças, known professionally as Céu born 17 April 1980), is a Brazilian singer-songwriter whose first American album was released on the Six Degrees Records label in April 2007.
At fifteen, she decided to become a musician and by her late teens, she studied music theory, as well as the violão (a nylon-stringed Brazilian guitar).
