Biography

Growing up in Puerto Rico, I never imagined that becoming a professional recording artist would mean my music would land someday on television shows such as Dance Moms, Reina de Corazones, the video game Rock Band, and others and be heard by millions of people around the world. It was a lifelong dream that was simultaneous with film making and I had to choose when I finished high school, which path to go. During this time I chose music because it was more accessible to me at the time and I was able to remain close to my family. I pounded the pavement and found my way touring the US, PR, Dominican Republic, Europe and England. What a journey! Currently I am now in film school pursuing my other dream... film making. My love for film started when I visited the movie theater for the first time. I saw "The Karate Kid III" and thought to myself "What is this?!!! I want to be a part of this!!!" and so my love for the silver screen began. I have worked as a 35mm projectionist in New Jersey back in 2001 and would splice films together. Such exciting times! I have also worked as a film extra and would ask questions, observed what went on behind the scenes and studied hours of "the making of..." of various films I loved. My inspirations are Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Patty Jenkins, Roger Deakins, and others. I aspire to work in films that are action adventures, big blockbuster movies. It is why I am here. Searching for that dream to come alive. Thank you for reading.
