Her parents were exiled by the military dictatorship of General Pinochet. With the return to democracy in Chile, she returns with her family to stay permanently. Her musical career in rap began strongly in 1997 with the group Makiza, where she stood out for her voice and lyrics.

There was one concert that I really liked, it wasn’t just a concert of one musician though, it was more like a festival called “Fonda Permanente” since there were a lot of other bands playing as well in 3 different stages, therefore there was also a big mix in music styles (cumbia, ska, reggae, rap, etc). This festival took place on May 1st, last year in Club Hipico, it started quite early and lasted pretty much all day. However, I was there the whole day, I had a good time, there were a lot of food trucks and even alcohol, the only problem was that alcohol was very expensive. It was a very fun experience considering I got to listen to some of my favorite’s bands like Guachupé and Santaferia, even the international ones like The Skatalites or Celso Piña , eat and drink in the same place, surrounded by people who enjoyed doing and listening to the same stuff. Sadly, it seems like this year there won’t be another edition of this festival since the producer company has had some issues

I like the beaches of the Pacific Coast, specifically the Riviera Maya. I really like the idea of swimming and practice diving .  In the south of this country pueblos indigenas live, they keep their traditional life, like before  the Spanish arrived to the continent. They keep alive their prehispanic culture! And I want to know them in person.  On the other hand, México is the land of famous singers, like Juan Gabriel, Vicente Fernandez or Antonio Aguilar. Also there was born the mariachis culture, that spread across highly in Chile, through the movies like "La ley del monte" of Vicente Fernandez.  In the near future I would like to study in one of
