How did your journey into acting and music begin, and what has been the most defining moment in your career so far?
Since childhood, I’ve always expressed the emotions of my heart by writing them in a notebook and then turning them into music. When interpreting a text, I loved immersing myself fully in the moment, feeling it, and believing it to truly connect with the audience. My journey into this wonderful world began as a model at the age of 16. I’ve always believed that fashion, cinema, and music are deeply interconnected. This belief allowed me to travel to many places, meet diverse people, and experience different cultures and ways of thinking, which greatly influenced me. The defining moment in my career came when I was working on a Spanish TV show and had to sing live, improvising on the spot. A producer noticed me and encouraged me to record my lyrics, and that’s how I began. Since then, my goal has always been to connect with and transmit my emotions to the audience because the audience is the most important part of any performance.
What inspired the creation of Desde mi Silencio, and how does it stand out from your previous work?
Desde mi Silencio was born out of a deep need to share my emotions with the world, telling stories of love and heartbreak, unrequited love, and even platonic love. Each song is a simple yet unique narrative that reflects universal experiences we’ve all faced at some point in our lives. This album is distinct from my previous work because it carries more emotional and sentimental depth.
In Desde mi Silencio, what aspects of your personal or professional life influenced the themes explored?
This album is deeply personal, reflecting my own life experiences. I openly share moments of happiness when I loved, instances where I wasn’t loved in return, and even times when I fell for someone who turned out to be unavailable, like a married woman whose secret I discovered by chance. There are also songs about love that exist only in one’s imagination. This album encapsulates my life—my joys, my heartbreaks, and my acceptance of love’s victories and defeats. When I experienced love, I embraced it fully, and when I lost it, I learned to move on.
When it comes to performing, whether on stage or in front of a camera, what do you find most fulfilling about connecting with an audience?
The connection I feel with the audience fulfills me most when performing. I have the utmost respect for them because they are the reason I can express my emotions. My greatest success is when I interpret a song and make someone in the audience feel something profound. I always say that I don’t sing; instead, I interpret the soul’s voice.
What would you consider your greatest challenge as both an actor and singer, and how do you overcome it?
My greatest challenge as an actor and singer is ensuring my heart is ready to convey emotions authentically. I overcome this by reliving my own experiences and emotions in each specific situation I’m portraying, staying true to the story and the audience’s expectations.
Looking ahead, what kinds of stories or roles are you excited to explore in your future projects?
With the audience’s support and permission, I plan to continue sharing my music and performances. I’m also excited about collaborating with other artists and exploring stories and roles that push me creatively while allowing me to connect deeply with audiences.
