Muchas personas me conocen por mis canciones. Desde pequeña me dediqué a la música y tengo más de 35 años en este medio. Pero a principios del 2021 mi vida dió un giro con la creación de un programa de entrevistas sobre espiritualidad llamado “En Sintonía Con Tu Presencia.” Lo mío es unir la música y la espiritualidad en esta nueva era.
