Q) As a genre-fluid artist, how would you describe your sound?
A) I’d describe it as emotional storytelling that blends softness and strength. My songs usually land somewhere between pop and ballad, but I don’t really like to box myself in. I just follow the feeling… If the emotion is honest, the sound finds its shape.
Q) Who are some of your musical influences?
A) Growing up, I listened to a mix of pop (both in English and in Spanish, Christian music and classic Latin ballads. Artists like Adele and Natalia Lafourcade have shaped me in different ways — lyrically, vocally and emotionally. I’ve always gravitated toward artists who aren’t afraid to feel deeply.
Q) Growing up in a musical family, what advice did your mom Christian artist Priscila Angel and father Los Temerarios frontman Gustavo Angel offer you about becoming an artist yourself?
A) They always reminded me to lead with my heart and to never compromise who I am just to fit in. My dad told me once, “The heart never misses a note, so sing with that.” And my mom taught me the beauty of discipline and intention in everything you do. Their support has meant everything.
Q) Talk about the story behind your new song “Echo.”
A) “Echo” came from a place of stillness and reflection. It’s about how memories can haunt you — how even when someone is gone, their presence lingers in the quiet moments. I wrote it after a year of letting go of something I thought would last forever. It felt like I was dancing with a ghost.
Q) What do you think it is about the song that fans connect to?
A) I think we’ve all experienced love that lingers. Even after the goodbye, there are traces of that person in your thoughts, your routines, your dreams. “Echo” gives that feeling a voice — one that’s gentle, but honest.
Q) How does the video for the track play into the message behind it?
A) The video mirrors the emotional layers of the song. We filmed part of it in a studio, which feels intimate and internal — like being alone with your thoughts. Then, there’s an outdoor scene that represents that sense of release, letting the memories echo into open space. And at one point, my friends joined in singing in the background, which added this unexpected warmth — like the reminder that you’re never truly alone, even when it feels like it.
Q) What is your songwriting process? Do you need music before you can create lyrics?
A) It depends. Sometimes I start with a phrase or a feeling that won’t leave me alone. Other times, a melody comes first. I love co-writing, too — bouncing off someone else’s energy can unlock things in me I wouldn’t access alone. Music is the map, but the emotion is the compass.
Q) Joey Barba handled production for the song. What was it like working with him to flesh out the sound you wanted to be sure “Echo” had?
A) Joey is incredible — he just gets it. He created the soundscape that gave “Echo” its feel. It was important to me that the production didn’t overpower the lyrics. He knew exactly how to keep it intimate while still making it fun. It was such a smooth collaboration.
Q) With “Echo” out, is this a prelude to a full album or EP in the works?
A) Yes — “Echo” is a glimpse into a larger body of work I’ve been shaping for a while. There’s definitely an EP coming. Every song tells a piece of the story I’ve been living through — heartbreak, healing, self-discovery. I’m excited to finally share it.
Q) Where are some of your favorite places to perform and what makes those locations so significant to you?
A) SoHo House in Nashville was really special. It felt like a full-circle moment — singing in an intimate space where people were really listening. I also love performing anywhere outdoors, where the energy feels organic and free. It reminds me why I started in the first place.
Q) Who would you most like to collaborate with on a song in the future?
A) I’d love to write with Sabrina Claudio, Madison Beer or FINNEAS. They have this way of creating atmosphere while keeping everything rooted in emotion. I really admire that balance.
Q) What artist/musician are you currently listening to and why do you dig them?
A) I’ve been listening to sombr a lot lately. His music references heartbreak a lot (which I obviously love) and, although I’ve honestly been pretty happy lately, I always enjoy a good sad song.
Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and your work?
A) Thank you… truly. I don’t take it lightly that people are listening, feeling, and sharing their stories with me. I hope my music makes you feel seen, like you’re not alone in what you’re going through. That’s the greatest gift.
