Mizuho Lin (born May 26, 1990 in Foz do Iguaçu) is a Brazilian singer, songwriter and musician and current vocalist of the melodic death metal band Semblant.
Musical career
editDaughter of Taiwanese and Polish descendants [1][2], Lin had her first contact with music at the age of seven, when she began singing in a children's choir in her hometown of Foz do Iguaçu , Paraná , where she lived until she was 16. years old.[3] During this same period, she began taking her first classical piano lessons, which only lasted three months, when her teacher had moved to another country. Then she took a break from theoretical studies and began to learn to play the keyboard on her own.[3]
Her admiration for classical singing began at the age of 11, when he began to listen to heavy metal bands.[3] And later, at age 15, she also began to study guitar. Later, Mizuho moved to the capital of Paraná, Curitiba, starting her lyrical singing classes, also joining a music college afterwards.[3]
In 2010, after being seen by one of the members of the metal band Semblant during a performance at her college, she received an invitation to become the second vocalist of the group, taking over the post left by Katia Shakath, who had recently left the group.[4] Lin immediately fulfilled the band's touring schedule, which included a few concerts and festivals for the promotion of the Last Night of Mortality album.[4]
Later in 2011, the band's first official work with Mizuho, the EP Behind the Mask, was released, which was very well accepted by the critics.[4] During this period the band gained a lot of popularity in Brazil and performed several shows around the country, culminating in the release of the albums Lunar Manifesto (2014) and Obscura (2020).
