Lúcia Moniz

Lúcia Moniz is a versatile Portuguese singer-songwriter and actress who’s charmed audiences since the 1990s. Music fans might recognize her from Eurovision 1996, where she represented Portugal with the sunny, soulful anthem *“O meu coração não tem cor”*—a tune that still pops up in nostalgic playlists today. But she’s also a familiar face to movie lovers, having starred as the endearing Aurelia in the beloved film *Love Actually* (2003), where her chemistry with Colin Firth’s character became a fan-favorite subplot.

Rooted in Portugal’s rich musical traditions, Moniz’s sound blends warm, acoustic-driven melodies with contemporary pop and folk influences, often weaving storytelling into her lyrics. Her recent releases like *Calendário* and *Leva-me P'ra Casa* showcase her knack for crafting cozy, introspective tracks that feel like conversations with an old friend. Fun fact: She comes from artistic lineage—her father, Luís Moniz, was part of the iconic Portuguese folk band Trovante. Whether she’s onstage or onscreen, Lúcia brings a down-to-earth charm that’s kept her career vibrant for decades.
