Influences: Grew up listening to all styles and types of latin music...from Trio Los Panchos to Pedro Infante and Alberto Vasquez. By 7th grade I was listening to SANTANA, Journey, Pink Floyd & Foghat. Saw my first musical, the King and I with Yul Brynner and my first opera - CARMEN. By sophmore year attended my first concert, Earth Wind and Fire and Commodores, Confunction, etc etc. I also fell in love with country music and sang pop in our chorus program. Studied for 9 years with my voice coach, Angie Biggio and worked on everything from Big Band, Musical Theatre to Gerschwin and Porter... I love most all music, especially music with insightful & meaningful lyrics and melodies and harmonies!

Sounds Like: “You’re a diamond, girl...well on your way to national recognition!" Pete EscovedoCarmen Milagro brings you some original tunes and Spanish covers of Latin music quite different than what we normally hear today in the market. This show takes you on a journey flavored with music from Columbia, Cuba, Mexico, and Peru. You are pleasantly surprised by the songs at every turn. They are effectively & intuitively infused with a little jazzy feel, some rock rhythms, a hint of r&b, a dose of salsa and a dash of Spanish boleros with flamenco stomp...Milagro makes you want to not only dance and sing but colors your world with a million shades of love." – Pene (Pipa) Cruz"Your voice has an essence of Natalie Merchant’s intimate and almost conversational style to it, peppered with Latin sounds and Spanish lyrics- totally hot!!†Leah Mahlberg ~ Designs 4 Life Entertainment…“there’s shades of Latin rock, a touch of salsa, only a touch lovingly blended with a taste of the old boleros and some timeless classics done with the Milagro twist, I am surprised and delighted at every turn. Each song is like a beautifully wrapped gift†– Eva Santiago
