"A New Chapter In My Life Has Opened"-Michelangelo

About Me

Raised in Hialeah, Cubana-China. Always on the move I'm a Gypsy. Lived in Italy and New York. Explored Europe and the Carribean Islands. Always searching for different forms of expression and rhythms to move me and help me find my voice. Jazz, R&B, and all Cuban music are my main muses. Everything I do is influenced by my mixed cultures and the deep roots they both have in me. The Cuban-American experience is its own entity. A merging of two worlds so close and too far. I was formally trained in Theatre, Musical Theatre, Classical and Jazz Vocals. Music is my passion and driving force in life. My goal is to explore the corners of the world and its sounds. To learn for I know, I know nothing. Always evolving.
