I come from Sabadell, a city near Barcelona. Live in Berlin since 1999 and I started doing music (singing) 2001.I began a solo-project with a guitarist, and we were soon joined by a drummer and a bass player (jazz/soul/blues/pop). I played with a rock/blues band and was vocalist in a chill-out project. Recent project as a vocalist in a great Brazilian-Quartett ("Hermelis"), with Daniel Stawinski (piano), Sebastian Vogel (bass), Janis Görlich (drums).Currently working as a vocalist on an own project with Charlson Ximenes, a Brazilian guitarist and Javier Reyes, a Columbian drummer (right now doing very interesting versions from Lila Downs, Lhasa de Sela, Luz Casal, Sílvia Comes & Lídia Pujol, Dinah Washington...jazz, soul, blues, bossa...Spanish, Catalan, English, Portuguese...and own stuff!!!!). Doing also backings in a Reggae/Dancehall band (Daveman).Studio-working with Loomis Green and currently collaborating as vocalist and songwriter -the spanish tings, CLARO!!- on MEECO´s album, a good friend and producer (jazzy stuff with Latin flavour or the way round) and many great artists and musicians.... Also collaborating with CURV (producer, dj...)Just enjoying it all...Enjoy it too!!!! ;)
