For worldwide music fans who do not know much about you, what is your musical background?

I’m an all-you-can-eat buffet. I’ve been singing since birth. By the time I turned 7, I had won two national singing awards and started my professional career in the music industry, signed to my first record deal at 17 after opening for big Latin American artists. I’ve been a musician ever since and it’s taken me all over the globe.

You have just released a track with Dutch producer DFRNS (Hidde Huijsman) called, “Maria”. How was it like merging Latin sounds with Flamenco elements alongside modern electronic rhythms, especially with thumping bass lines?

“Maria” is the rebellious side of every woman out there come to life and is the first song we’ve achieved to recreate exactly what I had in my head. Hidde and I are a great team, we’ve managed to marry my Latin background and his EDM sauce through flamenco. Check out the track now!

What makes this track special in your opinion and why should music fans should definitely listen to it?

Maria is my favourite, it’s got amazingly savage lyrics, catchy flows, melodies to die for and a production that makes your soul sway. 

What are the electronic music influences that inspired you to make a track like “Maria”?

I’m a raver at heart, no particular electronic track inspired me, but I know for certain my years of being a rave-head never fail to push me to the next level.

COVID-19 is still going on for a year and a half. Have you gotten a chance to perform at a show or at music festival domestically and/or internationally?

Not ONE!! I can’t wait to start performing again! Hopefully after “Maria”, I’ll have a chance to.
