Ferreira is of Native American, Portuguese, and Brazilian descent. She got her start in Los Angeles. She sang gospel songs in church throughout her childhood. Ferreira grew up around family friend Michael Jackson, stating in an interview with BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat: "We just became friends with him. When I was born, I was raised around him, I always saw him. I had holidays with him and stuff like that." At age thirteen, she started taking opera lessons to refine her singing voice. She spent the next few years maintaining a Myspace profile where she uploaded various demos of self-written tracks. Shortly before her fifteenth birthday, she caught the attention of Swedish production duo Bloodshy & Avant by contacting them through the social networking site. The producers were impressed and subsequently decided to work with her.

Ferreira is musically influenced by former Spice Girls member Emma Bunton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Blondie, Elton John, David Bowie, Serge Gainsbourg, Meja, Lil' Kim, Madonna, Alice Cooper, Nancy Sinatra, and The Runaways.

After signing with Parlophone in July 2009, Ferreira subsequently appeared in the music video for Uffie's "Pop the Glock" and starred in the 2010 independent drama film Putty Hill as Jenny. In June 2010, Ferreira appeared on the cover of Jalouse magazine after being featured in Dazed & Confused, Interview, and Purple. At the same time, she began to write and record material for her debut studio album with producers and co-writers Bloodshy & Avant, Greg Kurstin, Nicole Morier, Klas Åhlund, Colin Munroe, Linda Perry, and Frankmusik.

Following the release of "17", "One" and "Obsession" as singles, it was announced through a press release the album would be released on January 11, 2011. However, the album was postponed and an extended play titled As If! was announced for release on March 22, 2011 by Capitol Records. The EP was preceded by the single "Sex Rules" on March 1, 2011. Ferreira was concurrently featured in the advertisement campaign for Calvin Klein's CK One fragrance. Ferreira appeared on the Spring/Summer 2011 cover of Vs. magazine, shot by photographer Ellen von Unwerth. She also appeared in a fall ad campaign by Adidas, alongside Snoop Dogg and Big Sean.

In October 2011, Ferreira announced in a magazine that she is still currently working on her debut album, but is changing her musical direction to a more Blondie-inspired sound, stepping away from electropop. A month later, Ferreira announced on her official Facebook page that the new album is expected to be released on Summer 2012 and the first single on February 2012. In December 2011, Ferreira announced that she was working with Jon Brion, Shirley Manson, and Greg Kurstin for her debut album. On January 23, 2012, Ferreira revealed the title of her debut album, Wild at Heart. On February 7, 2012, Ferreira confirmed "Swamp Girl" and "24 Hours" as the titles of two tracks from Wild at Heart. ... (more)
