Bilingual Singer-Songwriter

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: People think that because it's something I love to do, it's the only passion I have.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: Singing has always been a part of me since I could talk but I started writing and playing guitar when I was 14. I wanted to transform my love of music and songwriting into a career, and knew that I would need to learn the business from the bottom up. To accomplish this goal I graduated from the Bruce Hornsby Creative American Music Program, where I studied Music Business and songwriting. For two years and a half I worked along side Emilio Estefan in Crescent Moon Studios, assisting his team in production and songwriting sessions for top performing artists. Moreover, after graduating, I worked at the Estefan's corporate office in licensing and royalties for the Estefan catalog, where I learned the business of how an artist manages and monetizes his/her work. With this knowledge, I self-released my debut EP “Echoes” in April 2017 consisting of five original songs, which ranked highly on the iTunes Charts (1 Top EPS & Singles, 5 Top Latin Albums, 8 Top Singer/Songwriter Albums) and earned placements on numerous Spotify playlists. Additionally, my song “Por Ti” was awarded as a finalist in the Latin category of the John Lennon Songwriting Competition. At the end of 2017, I performed at Lincoln Center in NYC for the NewSongMusic Contest. To start this new year, I was a part of Destination Okeechobee where I passed the first voting round of over 3,200 artist entrants. The second round consisted of playing in Miami this past February for a chance to perform at Okeechobee Music and Arts Festival and I placed 3rd :)
