Who or what inspired you to pursue a career in music and who or what have been the most important influences on your musical life and career?
Joan Chamorro has been my first and probably most important motivator. He introduced me into the professional music world at an early age and together with my parents he has accompanied me through it for many years. I was 14 when I recorded my first album and because it was interesting for the press and programmers, I found myself with a lot of concerts and interviews. At that time I was meant to be deciding what to study next and whether to go to university, but I chose to keep going professionally as a musician.
I have to mention my quintet as they’re just the best and always encourage me to be better and to believe in myself.
