Their music incorporates bits of pop, reggae, electronica, jazz, bossa nova, and despite their name, no one in the band is Brazilian. The sexy/quirky/mysterious Brazilian Girls are three men — Didi Gutman on keyboards and computers, Jesse Murphy on bass, and Aaron Johnston on drums — and one woman, Sabina Sciubba, the vocalist who often enjoys wearing lacy eye masks on-stage and sings in no less than five different languages. Sciubba was born in Rome but grew up in Nice and Munich before settling in Brooklyn, NY. She described her meeting with the boys of Brazilian Girls as "". Falling into the new, playful downtown scene that was revolving around the Nublu club helped speed the band's success. Soon New York audience and press had fallen in love with them. The Verve Company became interested in the band around this time, thinking they were perfect for the more pop and progressive imprint Verve Forecast. In 2004, the label released the Lazy Lover EP. The group's self-titled, full-length debut hit the streets in early 2005. Plenty of touring followed and the band grabbed some new fans. In 2006, they returned with their sophomore release, Talk to La Bomb - a cosmopolitan mixture of different styles, sounds, rhythms and languages.
