Biography
From the vibrant streets of Mexico to the heart of New York City, my artistic journey has been one of struggle, resilience, and transformation. I briefly studied at prestigious Mexican institutions such as the Conservatorio de las Rosas and the Escuela Superior de Música, but my true artistic evolution has been shaped by a self-taught approach and hands-on experience.
My voice found a home in the grandeur of Mexico’s National Opera House, “Palacio de Bellas Artes”, where I sang as first soprano in the choir and performed solo character roles in several opera productions. I received a grant from the “International Society of Mexican Artistic Values” (SIVAM) for opera training and was a finalist in the “Carlo Morelli” National Singing Contest, Mexico’s most prestigious and competitive national singing competition. While my success in the opera world was deeply rewarding, it also revealed the complexities of a life shaped by trauma and the struggle to follow my authentic artistic identity and calling.
Moving to New York reshaped my life and set me on a journey of rediscovering my singing and songwriting, allowing me to fully embrace my authentic voice as an interdisciplinary artist. Here, I expanded my practice to encompass Latin American folk traditions, songwriting, and interdisciplinary performance. I have performed and served as a teaching artist with The Society of Educational Arts (Teatro SEA), Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders, The Martina Arroyo Foundation, and alongside interdisciplinary artist Tupac Martir in London.
In 2021, I received the City Artist Corps Grant from NYFA to produce “A Mexican Free Holy!”, my bilingual multidisciplinary show. In 2024, I made my debut performing Sephardic music with the New York Andalus Ensemble, singing in Ladino, Arabic, and Hebrew, including a performance at the Library of Congress. Most recently, in 2025, I was selected for NYFA’s Artist as Entrepreneur Program.
My compositions, in both English and Spanish, resonate with those who have experienced adversity and trauma. They reflect the transformative power of music to inspire hope, foster connection, and encourage emotional and social restoration. Through music, lyrics, and theatrical performances, I use creativity as a tool to help communities embrace resilience, celebrate their stories, and cultivate inclusive spaces for healing and growth.
My journey is a testament to the healing power of music and creativity. As an interdisciplinary artist, I seek to inspire healing and accompany others by sharing my story as a female immigrant who has faced trauma and the non-linear, often extremely challenging, path of recovery.
Rooted in the belief that music and art can transform lives, I am committed to fostering resilience and creativity within communities. Through my art, I encourage others to embrace their journeys, find strength in their stories, and help create a brighter, more inclusive world.
