Luciana's decision to leave Banda Rouge was not motivated solely by the desire to change areas. The popular band, which existed in the 2000s and loved by many, offered her an exciting opportunity to explore her career alone, as she refused to be explored by businessmen. They are required to pay cash of 500 reais per show.
Motivated by this sentiment, the group joined Sony in a solo project.
Despite these potential rewards, however, there were also risks associated with leaving a poorly established band behind to embark on something new and unfamiliar; making the decision even more difficult for her.
