I am an artist, a singer-songwriter, a vocal coach, and a music teacher based in London. I graduated in Journalism and in BA Creative Musicianship (Vocals). I have also worked with the international artist Cher, coaching her to sing 'Chiquitita' with the right Spanish pronunciation, singing backing vocals, and writing alternative lyrics for the song. I have also taught singing techniques to Anu Badmus (former Nala at The Lion King The Musical), and Valentina Pinault (Salma Hayek's daughter) as well as many professional artists, and intermediate and beginner students. Since 2009, I have balanced my busy schedule as a musician with music lessons. I have worked as a music teacher and a vocal coach in my studio, different first-class music schools, recording studios, and primary and secondary schools. During all these years, I have taught piano, singing, songwriting, production (Logic Pro X), and music theory to children, teenagers, and adults. I have taught face-to-face and online lessons to individuals as well as groups. I have also led bands, choirs, and music/musical theatre workshops and have prepared my clients for auditions. concerts, recordings, and examinations. I am an experienced, caring, supportive, and enthusiastic professional who is committed to the education, safeguarding, and promotion of pupils. Possessing confidence and creativity as well as communication and time management skills, I have the ability to encourage students to achieve their potential learning, enjoying, and progressing every week. I have the ability and expertise to help my students develop their vocal ability, performance and songwriting skills, music theory knowledge, self-confidence, and stage presence.

Experience
I am a vocal coach, singing teacher, singer-songwriter, top liner, and session vocalist on demand. I write songs and sing for other artists, DJs, sync placements, and events.
Since 2009, I have worked as a music teacher and a vocal coach at my studio, different first-class music schools, recording studios, and primary and secondary schools. I have taught piano, singing, songwriting, production (Logic Pro X) and music theory to children, teenagers, and adults. I have taught face-to-face and online lessons to individuals as well as groups. I have also led bands, choirs, and music/musical theatre workshops. I have prepared students for auditions, music university auditions, concerts, recordings, and examinations. I also help professional artists record their songs in the studio in an effective way, making sure their singing emotions, vocal and breathing technique, and dynamics are on point.
As an artist and session vocalist, I have worked with world-renowned artists and producers like the winner of 5 Grammys Nacho Molino, Mark Taylor (Enrique Iglesias and Kyle Minogue's producer), Pete Maher (Katy Perry's master engineer) and Marco Dalla Villa (known because of his hit 'La Francesita'). As a topliner, singer-songwriter, and session vocalist, I work on different projects with other songwriters and producers on a daily basis.
I started touring professionally as a session vocalist at the age of 16. I have not only performed in legendary venues such as O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, Proud Camden, and Cargo, but I have also performed in Spain, Japan, and the United States (Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York). As a lyric translator and Spanish pronunciation coach, I translate the lyrics of other artists' songs into Spanish for them and teach them how to sing the Spanish lyrics with correct pronunciation without compromising on their performance and singing emotion.
From 2017 until 2020 I was lucky enough to lead musical workshops and concerts at The Chelsea & Westminster and St. Mary's Hospitals entertaining children & and patients of the high-dependency units.
Education
I attended Aula Musics (Liceu of Barcelona) to study 2 years of a professional degree in jazz and blues, the Conservatoire of Tarragona to study classical music, Acción-Escena School of Actors of Madrid to study a professional course in Musical Theatre, and BIMM London to study BA Creative Musicianship (songwriting, singing technique, popular music, music business, and production). I graduated in Journalism at the Rovira i Virgili, University in Spain too. As a vocalist and vocal coach who is always learning, progressing, and striving for the best, I am taking advanced vocal lessons with different teachers.
