Thaeme Mariôto (born October 4, 1985), is a Brazilian pop singer and songwriter. She rose to fame after winning the second season of the reality television show Ídolos Brazil. After Idolos, she enjoyed a solo career, prior to joining the sertanejo duo Thaeme & Thiago alongside Thiago (real name José Lazaro Servo).
Thaeme was born on October 4, 1985 in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, but was raised in Jaguapitã, Paraná. Thaeme began singing in the church choir in her hometown and never looked back. Teamed with her sister Priscilla and appeared in several TV shows, including Rede Record's Eliana's Talent Kids.
Thaeme's musical inspirations include Música popular brasileira and jazz divas. In 2009, she was elected as one of VIP Magazine's 100+ Sexies.
Mariôto auditioned for the second season of Ídolos Brazil in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina.
Mariôto signed a recording contract with Sony BMG, managed by SBT in August 2007, as part of her Ídolos Brazil prize package. The contract expired late 2008.
Few weeks after the show's season finale, Sony BMG executives released Ídolos: Thaeme, a special album that contains only five tracks (sang during the show by Thaeme), including her Ídolos coronation song "Rotina". In less than a week, the first edition of the CD sold out in all the virtual stores: first place among the best sellers.
