How did you get into the world of music?
What my mom tells me is that being pregnant, I only moved when they played music. A month after I was born, he began to stimulate me with music and it was something that made me feel really alive. Since I was a child, I went to music classes and recorded my first children’s music album at 5 years old.
After this, I stopped the music because I noticed that my voice was different from the others, which made me think that this was wrong and I left everything. I entered the university to study design, I realized that it was not what I wanted and one day while watching a documentary by 30 seconds to mars I started thinking “in my next life I want to be an artist” and automatically I thought “Why in the next if now you can be whatever you want?”. The next day I dropped out of college and started moving to achieve what I wanted.
How do you consider or define your music?
“I define my music as a sound art that goes beyond human sensations, that goes beyond what one can explain. It encompasses many things, including emotions and more sublime things that cannot be expressed in words “
My artistic project It is inspired by the 7 archangels and by God, by divinity. Because I had a spiritual awakening and as a result of that I focused on meditation, every time I began to become more sensitive and that is why all my music and my life revolve around energy and the belief that we are all creators of our own. own reality. That is why we must be aware of what we do and think, that is why I always think that my actions will impact beyond my own life.

What are some of your influences or inspirations?
My influences are metal, hip hop and classical music or Gregorian chants. The genre I wanted to lean towards is hip-hop and when I started, 6 years ago here in Mexico, there were hardly any women doing this urban musical genre. One of my favorite bands is Linkin Park, another is Marilyn Manson who inspires me because he has always been very authentic and true to his beliefs, I identify with him, since he is very transgressive and goes beyond any parameter. I also grew up with Eminem, he was the first rapper I heard and since I always felt as a child that I was out of place everywhere I identified a lot with the intentions and the videos, these have been my biggest references.
How important is the link of fashion and music to you?
It is very strong, because fashion continues to be an expression of you, with it you manage to generate an impact on people, the way you dress, what you wear speaks a lot. Fashion has always been essential for me and it caught my attention. For example Alexander McQueen who told stories through his clothes and how each person builds his own story through the clothes. You manage to create a statement and that is why I believe that music and fashion go hand in hand.

What kinds of activities nurture your creative process?
One of the activities that has helped me the most is meditation because it is where I can be more recreational and it keeps me at my center. I use meditation to be able to land the information and that helps me to be in constant communication and contact with myself, which is where pure things are born.
For me it has always been important to create from one’s own essence. Dance is very important to me, I need physical activity and this has helped me discover myself and bring out my emotions. When I am dancing I come up with ideas and I get creative, photography and painting are activities that help me relax and reach a state of peace that helps me create without trying to meet expectations.
What are you currently working on?
I’m working on a single and preparing the music video with a director named Monica Gonzales. The background of this song is a very raw and dense theme for me, which I wanted to turn into something funny and with black humor. That’s what to expect from the next single. I hope to launch it with a face-to-face experience, since I love sharing and taking my audience into account, that’s why I want to organize something for people in this launch and then I plan to work in music outside of Mexico.
