Let me tell you who I am.
Singing has never been a decision for me
It is what I have done for as long as I can remember, and in fact from before that.
My parents used to play me music through headphones while I was still in my mother's belly, and once I arrived in the world it was the only thing that would calm me down. As a little girl I never stopped singing around the house: in the kitchen, in the car, in the shower.
In this world you learn through noes: they toughen you up and take the fear away.
It was my father who introduced me to the singer who would become my musical hero for years: Leona Lewis. That changed everything. She is the one who made me want to sing properly, and as a child I promised myself that one day I would sing a song of hers. At eleven I joined a singing school and trained there for about five years. The rest has been a lot of ear, a lot of technique and an enormous amount of wanting it.
My first real stage was Cortylandia, the Christmas show that El Corte Inglés puts on in the middle of Alicante. I played the Christmas Star and sang in front of everyone walking past.
Then came the competitions. Some of them memorable, like Vive la Voz and Cántame Kids, both of which I won. And many others you go to full of hope and come away from with nothing.
And they are exactly what teaches you to keep turning up. I auditioned for La Voz Kids (The Voice Kids) three years running before I got in, in 2017. I reached the final, and it was like nothing else. Everything is lived with an emotion and an intensity I have not found anywhere since. It is pure magic, even if it is still television.
In 2020 I decided to go back, this time as an adult, and auditioned for La Voz (The Voice). That was where I finally kept the promise I had made myself as a child, singing Homeless by Leona Lewis in the blind auditions. It was a very different stage, more demanding, with a very high standard and a lot of competition, and that teaches you too. I came out of both having learned a great deal, and knowing myself a little better.

For the past five years I have sung every weekend at Pepito Brillo, a restaurant in Alicante with live music through lunch and dinner. That is hundreds of performances, and it is where I have really learned the craft: how to read a room, how to hold a silence, how to make a song my own after singing it a hundred times, because for whoever is listening that night it sounds like the first time.
And this is where weddings come in, the chapter I am focused on now and the one I want to give everything to. Since I started doing this I feel I have found where I belong. I am in love with love, the kind who idealises all of it, and singing on the most important day of a couple's life is never just another job to me.
And if I end up being the one singing at yours, I will make sure that everything on my side goes perfectly.
I promise I will live it almost as much as you do.
