She is the oldest daughter of acclaimed playwright Dias Gomes and actress Bernadeth Lyzio, and goddaughter of writers Jorge Amado and Zélia Gattai. She was born in Rio de Janeiro and went to the American School of Rio de Janeiro until she was fifteen years old, where she learned to speak and write in English.

She returned back to music in the mid-‘90s when she released the punk/hard rock single “Retrosexual” and formed The Bebe Buell Band.Mayra Dias Gomes is a Brazilian writer. Buell spent this time managing Liv Tyler’s acting/modeling career, as well as the career of her friend Debbie Harry for a short while. Nevertheless, news about Steven Tyler’s paternity with Buell broke out in 1991 and forced Buell to back off from the public to focus on her daughter. Buell established a great musical name for herself with The Gargoyles as they toured throughout the United States and The UK, eventually opening up for The Ramones for numerous shows.

She then broke musical boundaries of the time with The Gargoyles, a hard rock band she fronted during an era where women leading edgy bands was a rare commodity. Two years later, Buell formed a group called The B-Sides and released A Side Of The B-Sides which was produced by her former lover Todd Rundgren. In 1981, Buell finally released her debut EP Covers Girl, produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars and Rick Derringer, with The Cars backing each of the four songs. Buell and Patti Smith had formed a close friendship and spent wine-filled nights writing poetry and singing together which was why Buell called Smith one of her biggest inspirations.

Throughout Buell’s entire journey, her true goal was to become a singer from the very beginning. As a symbol of the 1970s, Buell led a life of success, excess and public controversy. In this admittedly sexist arrangement, the girls can end up being quite influential, inspiring the love or lust that comes blaring out of speakers turned to 11 - thus Buell's preference for 'muse.' Numerous songs were written about her by her rock star lovers, including Rundgren's 'Can We Still Be Friends?' and Costello's 'I Want You.' While charming her way into the hearts of the most prominent musicians, the 'Mother of Rock and Roll' was also tending to her own career as a model and singer. Rock and roll means many things to its various practitioners, but for decades now one of the key reasons a teenaged boy will pick up a guitar is to get girls. Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Todd Rundgren, Iggy Pop, Elvis Costello, David Bowie and Jimmy Page all fell under Buell's spell, with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler fathering Buell's famous actress daughter.

Bebe Buell, mother of Liv Tyler, never liked the word 'groupie' - she prefers to describe herself as a 'muse' when discussing her serial romantic relationships with rock stars.
