Liriel Domiciano
Liriel Domiciano (November 25, 1981-) is a Brazilian pop star and classical singer. She was born in São Paulo, Brazil. Along with Rinaldo Viana, she won the Raul Gil Amateur Show, the equivalent of the United States' American Idol. Their first CD, Romance, became the second-highest classical bestseller in Brazilian history. Two CDs released later also became bestsellers.
Life
Liriel was discovered at a bridal fair in São Paulo. She had never taken formal singing lessons, but was singing classical arias at the age of 5. Around the age of 14, she began singing with a group called "Voices of Zion." She was applying for a job as a seamstress at the bridal fair, but auditioned instead to be a wedding singer, choosing a Puccini aria for her material. Within a short time, she was on television.
Religion
She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the age of 14. It has proven to be an important part of her life and character. During the 8 months of the Raul Gil Amateur Show, she wore a medallion that represented her faith and values. She also decided not to sign with Brazil's biggest talent agency because she has made a commitment to sing for the Church.
General conference
On April 4 2004, Liriel became the first soloist to sing at the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since the 1930s.
