Her name is spanish for star. Her parents knew from young that she was gifted and at the age of 6 enrolled her in violin lessons. She played for about 5 years and during this time developed a strong love for music and performance. Singing though was where her heart was really at. Leaving the violin she trained operatically for a few years and participated in musical theatre. After this she decided to go in a more pop direction and studied under a vocal instructor in LA. She detoured temporarily from her quest from being a solo artist when asked to audition for a Los Angeles based 5 girl R&B/Pop group named V.I.P which at that time was being considered by J Records. The group fell apart and she decided that this was the time to work towards the solo career she had always dreamt off. She is a talented singer-songwriter and guitar player ready to take the world by storm.
