[7][8] Born and raised in the suburbs of Barcelona She has been described as an "atypical pop singer" because of her genre-bending music styles.

Reimagining flamenco in a new way by mixing it with hip hop and pop music, the project produced the singles "Malamente" as well as "Pienso en Your Mira" which attracted the interest of the Spanish general public, and released to widespread applause from the critics.
