THE TRUTH?... YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

About Me

Born in Quins, a small Galician village of Spain, and raised in Vigo, I remember myself singing since I have my five senses on. I started taking lessons of voice, guitar and music language at a private school when I was 13. I also started writing my own songs and participated in various contests locally. I became a Licensed Teacher in Musical Education. I kept on studying Singing and Vocal Technique, doing numerous courses of Piano, Choral Direction… conducting the choir of my church, being the soloist soprano of the Choir of the University of Vigo, doing gigs with bands and orchestras, and participating in everything possible to take me to be known by the people in my region. At 21, I won the I Contest Pop-Rock of the Galician Government in 1998, this gave me the opportunity of appearing on TV and doing some promo work.
I finished my studies of Classical Singing at the Conservatoire of Music of Vigo, and I was elected one of the 80 Voices of Europe, who toured with Bjork around Europe in 1999-2000, organised by the European Council. I also worked in Puerto Rico with well-known musicians. In London I did a Post-graduate diploma in Jazz Singing by the Royal Academy of Music, guided by the BBC-awarded Tina May. I became a part of the pop-opera female band MILAN, we did a tour all over the UK with Peter Corry. Since then, I've been working in London and Spain, for Yes!!!Brazil Show Ltd., where I'm the band leader, Mustard Latino band and Spanish music duo Almaloca, with versatile guitarist Jaal. I've also worked for Red Rhythm Productions, M.E.M. productions, Rivercultures... among others. I've recently appeared at Her Majesty's Theatre in the role of Lucy Harris with "Bring on The Men". At the moment, I'm focusing on my solo project.
