LIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE, JUST SMILE!!

About Me

Before I begin, I want to THANK each and everyone for taking the time to check out my music and for listening to what I have to say!!
I feel truley blessed to be able to share my words, my melody, my passion, my pain, my life, my love, my everything!!
I truely believe that whatever you want out of life, you and only you can make it happen!!
So don't ever give up on your DREAMS, cause they're as real as they can be!!
LOVE AND RESPECT ALWAYS AND KEEP GOD FIRST!!!
THIS IS A TRUE STORY:
Born in Hannover (Germany), to a German father and a Spanish mother, I was raised in a bilingual home. At the age of five, I told my grandmother that one day I would travel to America to become a star, and here I am pursuing my almost realized dream.
Rock, Pop and Soul tunes always filled our home when I was younger, and I developed a passion for music and singing pretty early. Because of my multilingual upbringing, I can sing in German and Spanish - and that definitely gives me an edge, and artistic range based in several cultures.
I always wanted to learn to play the piano, but since my family couldn't afford any lessons, I was eager to find another avenue to express my talent. I joined the local community choir, which became my first stage. Being on stage felt natural and right - I immediately knew I had found my place.
Several years later, I was introduced to a German producer, Eric Kingsley, with whom I worked on various House/Pop projects. The end result was a girl group called "Deluxe", but it just didn't feel right to me. I wanted to return to the root of my passion, my heart steered me back towards Hip-Hop and R&B and came to the realization that I had to move to NY soon, in order to get closer to my dream. I eventually saved money, packed my bags and took the big step.
Once I arrived in New York, I went to the basics and started hustling contacts, going to auditions, performing at various shows- trying to get noticed. I finally met a vocal coach, Darryl Walker (a man of great inspiration), with whom I started working on my vision and project. I realized then, that I had a lot to learn.
Since then I've been working with some really great producers, singing back-up for different artists, and finally I've also had the opportunity to showcase my talent at my own performances.
Just recently I started my own Publishing Company "STARSKY PUBLISHING" and I've been working on some NEW material which eventually I'm tryin' to sign a publishing deal with. Trust me I never stop working, writing, singing, meeting people, rehearsing etc. I might not be a super star YET, but I am living the life that I have always imagined. I am living my dream and loving every day of the struggle - It's a constant hustle.
