From an early age, she has shown a talent for inventing her own songs and stories, so much so that she used to make up her own nursery rhymes at kindergarten and, at the age of 8, she wrote her first song in English, her second language.


At the age of 19, she won a car in a singing competition on the TV show "1,2,3 OUT!" From that moment on, she started performing live and worked as a touring singer in a cover band with whom would later become her husband. For over ten years se performed in bars, theatres, restaurants, resorts and some local TV shows in her country while she studied translation at the National University of La Plata.



After graduation, she kept pursuing her passion: writing. She has published seven children’s books so far. But just like we all go back to our first love, it was writing music that really drove her, so she started writing songs again with very talented musicians, composers and producers from all over the world, such as CJ Teffner (U.S.), Phil Tricky (England) and Mike Gabriel (The 3 M Group). She is also known as the lead singer of the alternative rock duo Excorde, with Jonnie Cook (U.S.)

She released her first album "Ten Waves" on January 3rd, 2020, co-written with the multi-instrumentalist Torbjørn Vagle (Norway).

Her songwriting talents have not gone unnoticed and since her comeback to professional music in 2017, she has been nominated for several international independent music awards, such as the 2018 Nashville Universe Awards and the 2018 Josie Music Awards. In August, 2020 she won an ISSA (International Singer-Songwriters Association) award for Best International Female Vocalist (Silver) and her music is being played on radio stations worldwide.
