She officially began her career in 2012 releasing the song "Mulher do Poder", which reached over 11 million views on YouTube and was considered a landmark in the then-blooming funk ostentação scene. Her posterior stage name, "MC Pocahontas", came from her physical resemblance to the eponymous Disney character. As the 2010s went by, MC Pocahontas released collaborations with Naiara Azevedo and Dani Russo ("Ó Quem Voltou", which had a music video produced by KondZilla which reached over 6.9 million views), and MC Mirella ("Quer Mais?"); both collaborations were certified Double Platinum and Diamond by Pro-Música Brasil, respectively.
In 2017, rapper Future used a sample of Viviane's voice on the song "Fresh Air" off his album Hndrxx.
In early 2019, Viviane signed with Warner Music Group, changing her stage name to Pocah to avoid copyright infringement allegations from Disney. Her first release for the label, "Não Sou Obrigada", came out in April; described as an "ode to women's empowerment", it reached over 102 million views on YouTube and 100 million streamings on Spotify. In October she was nominated for the BreakTudo Awards 2019 in the "Brazilian New Artist" category.

Pocah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
É o Tubarão, ó ó
'Tá sempre copiando o que eu posto
Gosta de tudo que eu gosto
Até roupa igual já que usar
Se eu passo, ela dá risada
Fica toda atrapalhada
E não tem solução pra essa mina
Vacila como respira
E com ela ninguém quer colar
Ih olha aí, olha o comportamento hein
Puxa o fundamento de todo o procedimento
Pa e Browse
Recalcada, fingida
Diz que já nasceu artista
Adora um close
Ela gosta de imitar
Ih olha aí, ó ó
Ih olha aí, ó ó
Ih olha aí, ó ó
Ih olha aí, ó ó
O que vem de baixo não me atinge
Você mente, você finge
E pureza, você não tem não
Quer ter o meu carro importado
Meu nome, meu namorado
Fez a cópia até do meu cordão
Ih olha aí, olha o comportamento hein
Puxa o fundamento de todo o procedimento
Pa e Browse
Recalcada, fingida
Diz que já nasceu artista
Adora um close
Ela gosta de imitar
Ih olha aí, ó ó
Ih olha aí, ó ó
Ih olha aí, ó ó
Ih olha aí, ó ó
These lyrics are from Pocah's song "Pa & Browse" and are directed towards someone who constantly copies and imitates the artist. The song begins with the repetition of "É o Tubarão, ó ó," which can be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of the artist's strong presence and power.
The first paragraph highlights the annoyance Pocah feels towards this person who is always copying her. They like everything she likes, even going so far as to wear the same clothes as her. This copycat behavior frustrates Pocah and she can easily notice when this person is trying to hide their actions, but they are unable to disguise their intentions. Pocah implies that there is no solution for this person's behavior, as they constantly make mistakes and nobody wants to associate with them.
The second paragraph further emphasizes the individual's behavior, describing them as envious and pretentious. Pocah criticizes their claim of being a natural artist and asserts that they love seeking attention. The phrase "Pa e Browse" is a play on words, referring to their habit of copying and browsing through other people's styles and behaviors. Pocah suggests that this person enjoys imitating others, thereby lacking originality.
The third paragraph takes a confrontational tone. Pocah dismisses the person's attempts to bring her down, stating that their actions do not affect her. She accuses them of lying and pretending, and denies that they possess any purity or sincerity. The person's aspirations reveal themselves through their desire for Pocah's imported car, her name, and even her boyfriend. Pocah remarks that this individual has even copied her jewelry. This passage conveys Pocah's strong sense of individualism and refusal to be impacted by this person's actions.
The fourth and final paragraph repeats the previous themes from the second and third paragraphs. Pocah once again criticizes the person's behavior, reiterating that they are pretentious and love to imitate others. The repetition of "Ih olha aí, ó ó" can be seen as Pocah's way of emphasizing and drawing attention to the person's behavior, almost as if catching them in the act once again.
Overall, the song "Pa & Browse" expresses Pocah's frustration with someone who constantly copies and imitates her, portraying them as an envious and pretentious individual with no originality. Pocah asserts her own strength and individuality, making it clear that their actions do not affect her.

É o Tubarão, ó ó
I am the boss, oh oh
'Tá sempre copiando o que eu posto
Always copying what I post
Gosta de tudo que eu gosto
Likes everything I like
Até roupa igual já que usar
Even wears the same clothes as me
Se eu passo, ela dá risada
Laughs when I pass by
Fica toda atrapalhada
Gets all flustered
Não consegue nem disfarçar
Can't even disguise it
E não tem solução pra essa mina
And there's no solution for this girl
Vacila como respira
Makes mistakes like breathing
E com ela ninguém quer colar
And nobody wants to hang out with her
Ih olha aí, olha o comportamento hein
Look there, look at her behavior
Puxa o fundamento de todo o procedimento
Pulls the foundation of the whole procedure

Loves attention
Ela gosta de imitar
She enjoys imitating
O que vem de baixo não me atinge

You lie, you pretend
E pureza, você não tem não
And you don't have innocence
Quer ter o meu carro importado
You want to have my imported car
Meu nome, meu namorado
My name, my boyfriend
Fez a cópia até do meu cordão
Even copied my necklace
Ih olha aí, ó ó
Look there, oh oh
Ih olha aí, ó ó
Look there, oh oh
