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.

Hoje eu quero paz eu quero amor
Então não me conte seus problemas
Nada de tristeza nem de dor
Esse sol tão lindo gostoso de se ver
Essa vida boa correndo pelas mãos
Esse povo todo cantando pra valer
Hoje eu to querendo falar de coisa boa
Hoje eu to querendo gostar mais de você
Vamo balançando dando risada à toa
Hoje só não dança quem gosta de sofrer
Então não me conte seus problemas
Hoje eu quero paz eu quero amor
Então não me conte seus problemas
Nada de tristeza nem de dor
Veja bem, 'tá tudo certo
Nós dois na avenida dançando de coração aberto
Veja bem, Deus não perdoa
Vamo jogar essa mão pra cima que a vida é muito boa
Então não me conte seus problemas
Hoje eu quero paz eu quero amor
Então não me conte seus problemas
Nada de tristeza nem de dor
Esse sol tão lindo gostoso de se ver
Essa vida boa correndo pelas mãos
Esse povo todo cantando pra valer
Solte essa cabeça acelere o coração
Hoje eu to querendo falar de coisa boa
Hoje eu to querendo gostar mais de você
Vamo balançando dando risada à toa
Hoje só não dança quem gosta de sofrer
Veja bem, 'tá tudo certo
Nós dois na avenida dançando de coração aberto
Veja bem, Deus não perdoa
Vamo pensa positivo que essa vida é muito boa
Então não me conte seus problemas
Hoje eu quero paz eu quero amor
Então não me conte seus problemas
Nada de tristeza nem de dor
