Check out Brazilian Guitarist Marcela Campos!
Native from Belo Horizonte (Brazil), Marcela Campos started her first notes on guitar at age 16. After taking private lessons with the renown Brazilian guitar player Roger Franco for a while, she started playing on the scene of her city and giving guitar lessons as well.

In 2015, Marcela was one of the finalists from the “Queen of Strings” (worldwide female bass and guitar competition), ending as the guitarist most voted by the public.
She recently released her debut album, featuring Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai) and Scott Henderson.
