was showcasing my second album, Acércate Más. At the end<br />

of the concert I was able to mix with the audience and sign<br />

autographs, which I always do when I have the opportunity.<br />

Can I tell the story of what for me was the best review I<br />

ever received? One day after a concert, a young man came<br />

up to me and told me that he loved my work and my voice.<br />

He told me he had come to the concert because while he<br />

had been very ill in hospital, a relative had given him my<br />

album as a present. He told me that my music had helped<br />

him to heal and that he wanted to give me something in<br />

return. He is a painter, and he gave me a small painting<br />

that he had done of the archangel Michael, so that he<br />

would always take care of me. Of course I keep that piece<br />

as a very precious treasure.<br />

Another highlight of my work for me came in 2018, when I<br />

had the opportunity to work as music supervisor for the<br />

Mexican film Cuando los hijos regresan by Invicta films. For The painting from my admirer<br />

this film, I did a cover of the song Creo estar soñando by Neil<br />

Sedaka and it was nominated in the category of best cover for the CANACINE awards (Chamber of<br />

the Film Industry).<br />

I love that my job enables me to mix acting with singing. I can't conceive of any other way of singing.<br />

If it were just about hitting the right notes without intention or story and characters in my<br />

imagination while I'm singing, it wouldn't make sense to me. For my two albums, I have chosen iconic<br />

songs from the history of Latin American music and I have transformed them completely with the<br />

collaboration of talented musicians. I love doing that, and I hope to be able to continue singing,<br />

acting, and composing and to be able to use my talent and creativity in all possible ways.<br />

I am also a composer. For example, on my album Acércate más, there is a song written by me called<br />

Imagino (I imagine). You can hear my two albums, Deseo del tiempo and Acércate más, as well as the<br />

single Creo estar soñando from the film Cuando los hijos regresan, on all streaming platforms. Between<br />

now and mid 2021, when I record my next album, I plan to release five more singles. Wish me luck!<br />
