The voice of “La reina del flow”
Was an awesome experience with my whole Team Miguel Cardona and Fabi (Johanna Jimenez) they make me feel like a big star also was my first time in New Jersey. I discovered at 8 years old that I could singing and I was very interested in music but never thought that would become the most important thing in my life , started taking singing lessons in a choir with the professor Jorge Arias in Buga (Cauca Valley – Colombia ) my City , my home He was a great teacher.
In my family have some cousins who sing, my grandmother sang very beautiful , but my patents are a basket case. My professional career started 15 years ago , I have worked from a very young age on many things other than music but with the purpose of paying for many courses in acting, dubbing, voice overs, etc., everything related to my voice and I managed with a lot of effort to enter the entertainment and advertising environment in my country.
They have always supported me, even if they live a little anxious because the life of a musician is not easy, living from art is a great challenge and that they value that work you do so that people feel happiness feel full is complex. Actually I have many, I love to cook, I have a restaurant with my husband of typical food from my region, I love to draw, so when I have time I paint murals, I do my paintings and I just launched my own line of accessories it gives me a lot of peace to do this activities.
The queen of flow came into my life through a casting they were looking for the voice of the protagonist and we have very similar characteristics. It changed my life completely to be the voice of the queen of flow because I did not see myself touring or releasing records as I was saying, it is very difficult to live from music, but I think God had other plans so here I am. In reality, I did not expect that response from people, nor that my voice would be heard in so many parts of the world, I still do not believe it.
I know several actors Pacho Rueda was my acting teacher, with Mabel Moreno I have sung in some events but in the production as such I did not have much contact with them I was going to record at the studio alone and returned home I never went to the locations. But the actors that I have been able to meet are very talented and wonderful people. At this time for the creation of new themes I am very inspired by things that have happened to me or stories of close friends and I try to give the message as clearly as possible. I like to be able to reach people; I like to be able to touch their hearts and accompany them with my voice in whatever situation they are going through.
Reinvent myself as such no, maybe I have started taking piano and language classes taking advantage of the time I have free but I have been focused on releasing my first EP I have poured all my energy into that. The most complex thing is to overcome the songs that people have so present and to arrive with a better and better song every day is a huge challenge.
I am very happy that in the urban gender industry, women have more participation and are more visible but I still believe that there is no equality, even women are seen as objects and we must have a more marked image than men, we must according to the standards of the industry show more skin, be more flirtatious, many things that I hope will change one day.
I still don’t know what the future holds for me at this moment, we are all going through a very difficult year, but I want to step on many stages and sing to you in all possible places.They are wonderful every day I am more surprised by the number of people who support me and help me grow, I try to have a lot of contact with everyone, send them their videos, greetings, answer their messages, it is my way of thanking them for so much love and dedication.
It is not easy, but some fans have come to see me in Colombia, and it has been very nice for me. Many send me gifts home; they are too beautiful, and I try to be with them as much as I can. My dream to reach many countries, to travel, to see the stages to burst and people singing my songs, to be able to tell my family to achieve it, that it is possible. My advice is that you never stop preparing, that if it is really your dream to be an artist, there is no room to give up, to leave everything even if many times you want to give up, you have to fight, you have to continue, insist without fear of that no that makes us wanting to leave everything.
