I think the most important thing is to really believe in yourself, try not to not look at anyone else and try to follow your own heart and mind.

To put it in a few words, I feel proud to say that over ten years ago I followed my gut and my passion and moved to London alone –  not able to speak any English!  I was very determined and all I wanted was to dance. I come from a very small city in Spain, as I chose to not follow a ‘’typical career’’ there were pretty much no opportunities for me in my home town. Of course, it was definitely scary but I knew ultimately I would be happier doing what I was born to do, which is Magic and Dance.
I feel very lucky to have both of my parents who really supported me and believed in me, even though it meant me leaving home to go to another country!  I think that support is very important and it made me feel that I could accomplish anything.
To get to where I am now it took YEARS of training, nights of no sleep, working in many different jobs to be able to financially support myself to allow time to dance and learn and practice more magic. I have had more “NO’s” in my career but the “YES’” were definitely worth it and turned out to be the most authentic opportunities that fitted with not only my brand but what I stand-by as an artist.
I have worked for big companies such as Rimmel London, Samsung, Maryland Cookies, artists like Rihanna, Pharrel Williams, Jax Jones… the list continues to grow!
I think the most important thing is to really believe in yourself, try not to not look at anyone else, and try to follow your own heart and mind. You are the one who writes your story. I still have a lot I want to accomplish, I am sure a lot of challenges and always, a lot to learn! I am so happy and grateful to say that I will be doing this for the rest of my days!
