About Me

I am 23 years old. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and live in San Diego as a voice/singing coach and songwriter/composer. I also perform live at a new Argentine restaurant in Downtown San Diego a few nights a week, singing a variety of pop, jazz, standards, Spanish, folklore, and tango music. MUSIC IS MY RELEASE AND MEANS OF HAPPINESS, singing and painting are my passions and forms of expression. Peace- it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. I'm a careful thinker who enjoys the finer things in life and I recognize, and appreciate all that is around me, life, people, my family, and everything I have been blessed with. I can be very sensitive and curious but dont always draw out my emotions and I tend to absorb the energy of others, therefore, I try to avoid those who are always negative. I am quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to me. I believe in the power of giving and receiving, the power of peace, and the power of love and relationships. I wish I could fly. I consider myself to be a spiritual person as oppose to religious and I believe there is one God, called by many different names and found through many different paths. I enjoy being at the beach, writing and recording music, teaching and singing with my students, talking with my family in Argentina, playing tennis, wrestling my brother, dancing with my toes, going to church, whistling, red wine, Baileys, dulce de leche, cooking with my mom, shopping, spending time with friends, nice dinners, sushi!, dancing, and traveling. I don't smoke or like smoking but I like the smell of cigarrettes. I'll admit to knowing almost every word to every big Disney movie and I always sing along with the characters. I am an old soul. I can be kind of a dork but I love it. I hate the Starbucks enterprise but I go there every other day. I love working. I admire children for their sense of humor, spontinaity, honesty, fascination and appreciation for the little things that as adults, we begin to take for granted. I am more likely to read a newspaper than be watching TV or movies (except for with Andres). I prefer doing things for people when they least expect it and dont like it when people offer things or make promises that they dont intend to keep. I love multi-tasking and I dont get or need more than six hours of sleep. I love inspiring people with my music, my words, and my being. I can be really goofy, random, and sarcastic but always with a sense of morality, mindfullness, and common sense. "Your talent is God's gift to you, what you do with it is your gift back to God". Peace. ..

My Interests

Well, it is said that to us argentines, anything that isnt argentine is shit. This is not true. We the people of the great nation of Argentina are very open peoples, and we know, that there are other people in the world who deserve to be argentine.

I'd like to meet:

God, cuz there are a few things we need to talk about. Ghandi, the Dalai Lama, Shakira, M.L.K., Hitler, Mother Theresa, Maradona, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Michael Jackson, Oprah, Einstein, Stevie Wonder, Jesus Christ. Someone who inspires me and makes me laugh; you have to have a good sense of humor as well as a more intellectual side. Am I being unrealistic? src="http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/beb62d49ad.jpg" /

Music:

I will jam to anything from pop to salsa and merengue to hip-hop and R&B to jazz to broadway to Contemporary Christian to punk to classical to hard rock to acoustic rock to old school to techno/ house to Disney to tango to opera to reggae. When I say I love music, I mean everything and anything that has a good tune. ..
