In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. This month we celebrate women and “ELLA” is an album that I wrote during the aftermath of the pandemic, moments of reflexion and introspection through the feminine lens. “ELLA” is a pop album in Spanish produced in Mexico City. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Ella” The song portrays women as strong and secure in their feminine energy and not victims of a society that thrived on controlling the narrative of her. “PROPAGANDA” is a thesis of the return of the woman, which in Spanish we call “ELLA”. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The focus single “PROPAGANDA” is a song where I juxtapose the themes of romance, art and religion. I explore the feminine urge of becoming someone’s muse and source of inspiration, through the Birth of Venus. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? The desire for the male gaze is further actualized in the tenet “I am your propaganda.”
