I'm on PATREON!

After a year of posting ukulele covers, and after receiving beautiful messages from all over the world, I decided to open a Patreon page! I've made this video explaining what it is and how it works, as well as the story behing my covers! 

If you'd like to support me on Patreon, please head on over to my page. I can't wait to hear from everyone!

New instrument, new projects!

During this very strange and unexpected quarantine in March of 2020, I knew that I had to do something in order to keep myself busy and not go crazy at home. So, I decided to learn to play ukulele. More specifically, learn to play ukulele beyond the 3 or 4 chords I knew how to play. What started as a fun pass time with my roommate has turned into a small obsession, to say the least! I recorded this video, and I plan on releasing a ukulele cover every week during the quarantine, and possibly/hopefully continuing into the future! Check out this first video, and stay tuned for more!

Omβra de mi alma

Very soon after arriving to Barcelona, I started collaborating with OMβRAa band that I had discovered online and went to see live-- and I was absolutely enchanted after seeing them. On a leap of faith, Jorge Quesada, the bandleader, invited me to record a song for their album Posidonian Poetry, and the experience and subsequent collaborations were so fruitful and natural that I ended up officially joining the group as lead singer and violinist. I can honestly say that I am feeling so musically and artistically fulfilled, and I'm so excited for the future of our band! My bandmates feel like my new family. Stay tuned for news and videos, and check out the website in the meantime!

A Band is Born!

Join us on November 18th as we present the debut show of The Vagabonds, a Toronto-based group consisting of yours truly (voice & violin), Jozsef Botos (guitar), Daniel Botos (bass), and Frank Botos (drums). We are so excited to be finally playing together in this combination! We will be playing an eclectic mix of jazz, Eastern European folk music, Latin American rhythms, and pop classics –  all with a gypsy twist. Click the button for more details!

Happy New Year!

What a year it was! The second half of 2017 was a time of great musical travels and discoveries for me. I went to Cuba and had a blast, then I was accepted to Humber and have really been enjoying that, and I started working as a violin teacher at Orrett Music Academy and that has really brought me back to my musical roots, which has been a wonderful experience. I am so thankful for my life, and I am so thankful for the support of everyone around me. I have a feeling that 2018 will be filled with even more journeys and discoveries, and I will keep you posted about everything!

An amazing summer, and an amazing start to the new school year!

Holy moly, so much news!!

I spent an AMAZING two weeks in Havana, Cuba in June. I got to perform with some of Havana's finest musicians and singers at the Festival Internacional de Danzón in the Teatro Mella and Teatro America. It was truly an incredible and enlightening experience, and I can't wait to go back next year!! Pictures and videos coming soon!

Then, after a wonderful and relaxing few weeks in the Balkans with friends and family, I came back to Toronto and was accepted to Humber College's Intro to Jazz certificate program! It has been going so well, and I am so excited to be spending so much time with the incredible profs and Canada's up-and-coming musicians-- my classmates! 

I think I have so exciting performances coming up, and I'll tell you all about them as they're confirmed!
