My álter-ego
Art is a part of me, in many ways. One of these ways is music, which has been part of my adventure for as far as I can remember. My álter-ego mostly as a flamenco singer has taken me on a trip along many important stages around the world, having performed in Canada, USA, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Spain and many places around Mexico. Art is an inherent part of who I am.
