As a teenager, Sangalo started to sing and play acoustic guitar at events, festivals and presentations of the school where she studied. Her debut show happened in the Ondina Neighborhood, Salvador, in August 1992. With that show she won the Dorival Caymmi trophy, the Grammy of Bahian music.
In 1993, Sony decided to reform the axé group Banda Eva and she was chosen as the lead singer. With her charismatic image, their first album soon topped the Brazilian album chart. Her live album with the band, Banda Eva Ao Vivo, was their best-selling album, selling over a million copies in 1997. In 1999, she decided to start a solo career and released her first self-titled album. With lots of upbeat Bahian rhythms and axé, the album received gold and platinum certification. The following year she released another album, Beat Beleza, which also achieved platinum status.
In 2001 she released the album Festa. The title teack was very popular and the album got platinum certification. "Festa" was her biggest hit single up to that point and the video also received huge airplay. "Festa" ended up being the most popular song of 2001 in Brazil. In 2002, she released the compilation album Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, titled after one of her biggest number-one hits. The album, which features a duet with American singer Brian McKnight, didn't sell as much , but was still a hit. Following Se Eu Não Te Amasse Tanto Assim, she released Clube Carnavalesco Inocentes Em Progresso in 2003. It was the lowest-selling solo album of her career but it still managed to receive gold certification.
Her first solo live album MTV Ao Vivo Ivete Sangalo released in 2004, included her biggest hits, lots of them never released on an album before, and some Banda Eva hits. The album received diamond certification and was the second best-selling album of 2004.
Her 2005 album, As Supernovas, received triple platinum certification shortly after it's release. The album was less upbeat than the others and included some songs with a 70's touch, with the big influence of Brazilian singer Ed Motta. She also included the hit "Soy Loco Por Ti America", a Gilberto Gil song. "Quando a Chuva Passar" recently reached number two on the Brazilian singles chart and was notable for being nominated at the Latin Grammy Awards, an uncommon feature for a non-Spanish speaking singer.
On December 16, 2006, she performed in the biggest stadium in the world, Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, where Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Kiss, The Police, and Madonna have also performed. She was the first Brazilian act to perform in this stadium since pop phenomenon Sandy & Junior in 2002.
Ivete has sold more than 7 million CD copies and more than 2.5 million DVD copies.

Coração que bate com bumbo e tambor
Rodo a baiana, mais doce que cana
Mais quente que letra de amor
Eu 'to na sua casa, no palco, na praça
Na tela do computador
Pra quem 'tava com saudade
A gente é isso aqui
Meu povo
Sangue que corre na veia
Faz o que der na telha
De batuque e tamborim
Se prepara pra subir
Ai ai ai ai ai ai, ai ai ai ai ai ai
'Tá tremendo tudo aqui
Ai ai ai ai ai ai, ai ai ai ai ai ai
Mainha gosta assim
Ai ai ai ai ai ai, ai ai ai ai ai ai
'Tá tremendo tudo aqui
Ai ai ai ai ai ai, ai ai ai ai ai ai
O gigante gosta assim
Sabe que eu levo no peito
Coração que bate com bumbo e tambor
Rodo a baiana, mais doce que cana
Mais quente que letra de amor
'To na sua casa, no palco, na praça
Na tela do computador
Pra quem 'tava com saudade
Aumenta o volume, o gigante chegou
A gente é isso aqui
Meu povo
Sangue que corre na veia
Faz o que der na telha
De batuque e tamborim
Se prepara pra subir
Ai ai ai ai ai ai, ai ai ai ai ai ai
'Tá tremendo tudo aqui
Ai ai ai ai ai ai, ai ai ai ai ai ai
Mainha gosta assim
Ai ai ai ai ai ai, ai ai ai ai ai ai
