San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Tenerife), 1994. Singer, former contestant of 'Operación Triunfo'. 'Listo va' is the new song that opens the way to her second album, the first after 'Reflexión' (2019).

What do you like about this song? What is more about the drop, which is like the chorus but, instead of being sung, it has music. A flute sounds and has a lot of power because people do not expect it. I had never made a drop . The song sounds fresh, fun ... I'd say the song is flirty. Flirty and mischievous. What makes you identify a song as valuable? I need very little to know if a song is in the balance of yes or no. It is very intuitive ... I identify melody, lyrics and base. If everything fits, it works. And if of a song that I doubt, I take it to the studio, I record it and listen to it with my voice. For example: Ready goes is a cumbia reguetonera that in the drop, it has a more urban part ... But what matters is that the melody is beautiful. If you play Ready it goes on a piano and you make it ballad, it works. I find everything very difficult. You get to know people, producers, lyricists, people who throw melodies ... And you make your team . The other day we did a composition camp with 24 musicians in eight Zoom rooms. I was from four in the afternoon to three in the morning working on composition. I would go into a room and say: I want a ballad; I want a cumbierita thing; here I want something more tropipop ... He was half an hour and went to another room. In the lyrics he also intervenes. In everything, of course. Sometimes the songwriting session is about spending an entire morning with a team, talking about your life, finding a story, and turning it into a song. And other times it is going from one Zoom room to another. In the end, they send you the demo without a voice so you can change what you want. Choose: play, compose, record. Singing in front of people comes first. I would give up everything else if they let me sing. Then I would put compose. This process had me stuck, I was not a friend, but I have lost my shame. And then record. I make myself imagine that their world is very competitive. YouTube is full of beautiful people who sing and dance well. To be successful is to be at the right time, in the right place ... I don't think you have a talent that is not out there. Do you take the competition with anguish? That younger, hungrier people appear ... Anguish depends on what each one has inside. But look: I thought that among colleagues I was going to see many pikes. My experience is that that appearance is not real. People are generous because those who have come from very high have started very low and that is why they do not forget. And the topic of the lone star? I am very sociable, I like to meet people and go out. But the friends are what they were before OT and few more after. A colleague is not the same as a friend. Did he make music in the running of the bulls? I spent some time at the piano and wrote a song. Only one because I didn't want to associate the songs with a moment that was a nightmare. That is one reason; The other is that I need things to happen to me. And the truth is that I was one of those lucky ones who only happened with the confinement. I did not learn languages, I was not superfit , nor did I make bread ... I hated myself for that, but how many days did I spend from bed to TV and from TV to bed? Playlists of the 60s and 70s, Mon Laferte, Alejandro Sanz's first records.
