Songstress, specializing in latin, soul, jazz, blues & R&B music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I was born and raised in El Salvador, I have had a pasion for singing since I remember. I started acting in the national theatre at the age of 15 and did small tours throughout my country. I didnt get the chance to take singing lessons until I moved to Canada in 2002. I performed in Edmonton and with " La Clave" band at Mesa Luna in Vancouver. After that I kept on upgrading my singing skills regularly and started doing more performances throughout the city. Started singing at various Starbucks venues and with Tabasko Latin Orchestra in 2007, then I worked with a band called Saboga Bay in 2010 & 2011, we just recorded a small demo, I also was working on my own demo in 2011 but had to stall due to pregancy, super happy to be a Mommy now but have many unfinished projects and am looking for a serious, professional producer to finish demo with.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I used to play live but have taken a small break to adjust to mommyhood :-)
Your musical influences
Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, Lauren Hill, Shirley Bassey, Hector Lavoe, La India, La Lupe, Marc Anthony, Floetry, Musiq Soul Child, I have so many more the list will never end.
What equipment do you use?
I have a casio piano at home but I usualy use a mic. I dont play piano live I only use my vocals.
Anything else?
Never Give Up!!! You only walk the face of the earth once, make it count. Smile and what ever you do, do your best to be happy nothing is stopping you but your own fear. Action is what comes before success.
