Since I was a little girl, I have always loved the idea of music, not just how it sounds, but the way it makes you feel. I started by playing the cello, an amazing but big instrument for a three-year-old. I used to love it, like the way it sounded, but when it was played it was magical, it was like the music was floating around you. Until one day because of its position, my neck couldn’t take it anymore, so I switched to the violin. It seemed like a great idea at that moment, and I have never regretted it; but I do regret never practicing cello again. Each instrument has its original sound, and when you play it is like you’re connected with the music, you’re part of it. I just love how music can make anyone feel so alive, and that’s why I want to pursue it, anyone should be as lucky to feel alive while dancing or singing or playing their instrument, and that’s the way I feel playing the violin and creating sounds with my production. I want to pursue the art and the beauty of music. It's my way of living and my way to spread God’s word. I want to do what I love, serving who I love. However, I also wanted to compose either instrumentals, or classical, or even for films. So, I thought, why not combine both? Why not compose while also producing and playing what I love? I started looking for colleges and Full Sail was perfect, because not only did it have one of the best music production and composition programs, but it is also near the Orlando Philharmonic, where I could audition for. I can do my bachelor's and then do my performance major somewhere else and then come back for my master’s. Music has taught me not only the sound and instruments, but also the passion, commitment, discipline and determination required to have in this industry. That's why when I applied to college I wanted to be seen for my talent and qualities, not only for a test score based on a paper. I found colleges that understood that, so I applied, and got accepted. It’s hard to decide where you want to go, because many opportunities are present. I don't know what I would've ever done with my life if I hadn't discovered my love for music, because in this career I can dream, and not only make it happen but perform it.

When applying to college, it was a hard decision to see which ones to apply or even consider, mostly because of their test scores, which I wasn’t really good at. I wanted to be accepted for my talent, and not just for my academics. Be seen by my dreams and not something based on paper. I found colleges that understood that, so I applied, and got accepted. It’s hard to decide where you want to go, because many opportunities are present, but money is also present or missing. Besides financial and academic struggles that every student goes through, my mind thinks of everything, overthinking. Of course, decisions are harder in that way, thinking of every outcome and its course. My journey hasn’t been easy, since I was little, I found my love in music, first cello, and then violin. I was happy with it, because I love surrounding myself with music, happy to learn its sound, its theory, its history, but something was missing. I tried different hobbies like sports and dance, but it wasn’t the same. Until I found Him, in my problems when I hit rock bottom, He was there. I let Him into my heart, and He helped me and guided me through my problems. Each day I believe more and get closer, which helps me to follow Him. I started surrounding my life around Him, talking about Him, and living in His spirit, because He died for me, so I am willing to give my life to someone who wants it, and live for Him. God showed me how to be a better person and find the missing piece I never thought I was missing. Of course, faith comes with struggle sometimes, but I didn’t go through it alone; He was there. Now that I've got him I won't be alone throughout this journey, he will calm my storms and I will surrender to him. My music feels better now that he is around, it feels more alive and with emotion. My struggles don’t define me, but the way that I came through them does, how I fought and never gave up, how I stood there no matter what happened next, enduring the situation. It doesn’t matter that I’ve got anxiety, what matters, it’s what I am doing every day to control it and not let it destroy my dreams and future career. I couldn’t be happier with the person I’ve become, I've been brave, courageous, hopeful, positive, and helpful with others so far in my journey, I do hope I can do what I love with amazing people, serving who I love.

A dream is not only something that can be thought and desired, but a goal that you put ahead of yourself, with a mindset of accomplishment and success. Now, for me a dream can also mean that you can dream big and it is not impossible if you put your mind into it. The definition of a dream doesn't define your goals, but your performance can. This dream was kind of impossible for me back in my country, so when my parents gave me the opportunity to live and study in another country, it made things less difficult. It gave me more opportunities to share and keep building up my future. I thank them everyday for this new opportunity that I call the American Dream. The reason why I call this the American Dream, is because even though I wasn't born here, North America gives new opportunities to everyone everyday. Some may not see it that way, but I find faith and happiness in most of the things. So by just being able to study, live, and have a home and family here, that's all that keeps me happy and the motivation I need to keep going everyday. Dreams can be hard to pursue, mostly if there are big changes in your life, like in mine. I moved to a different country with a variety of opportunities, but with one of many struggles, different languages. It took me years to learn and even though I have not quite mastered it yet, I see myself capable of doing things I didn't imagine myself once possible. I've played with multiple orchestras, and had the opportunity to play in a live musical. I've gotten multiple invitations to summer camps, being able to conduct two years in a row for my school's orchestra, accepted to some of my favorite Colleges and Universities, and have the inspiration to compose songs and tracks. Without being here, or having had this opportunity, I would've never imagined doing all these things I once considered impossible. An American dream is not just seeing the country triumph, but also the people in it, the people that come and go looking for new opportunities everyday, for new ways to improve themselves to build a future anywhere they go, knowing that America gave me the opportunity not just to believe in myself, but in a future with new blessings. And this is why I call this, The American Dream.

Until one day because of its position, my neck couldn’t take it anymore, so I switched to the violin. It seemed like a great idea at that moment, and I have never regretted it. I’ve played in some El Sistema events and musicals. I loved every part of it. However, I also wanted to compose either instrumentals, or classical, or even for films. So, I thought, why not combine both? Why not compose while also producing and playing what I love? I started looking for colleges and Full Sail was perfect, because not only did it have one of the best music production and composition programs, but it is also near the Orlando Philharmonic, where I could audition for. I can do my bachelor's and then do my performance major somewhere else and then come back for my master’s. Also, I would graduate in nothing less than 20 months, still completing my bachelor's but faster. What I do regret is never practicing cello again, because for me it is the second-best instrument, and I love listening to it, mostly playing a duet, or a trio or string quartet. Yes, its sound can be heavy, but it can also be deep and so beautiful, that it can reveal hidden emotions. Each instrument has its original sound, and when you play it is like you’re connected with the music, you’re part of it. I just love how music can make anyone feel so alive, and that’s why I want to pursue it, anyone should be as lucky to feel alive while dancing, singing, conducting or playing their instrument, and that’s the way I feel playing the violin and creating sounds with my production. I want to pursue the art and the beauty of music. It's my way of living and my way to spread God’s word. I want to do what I love, serving who I love. Besides everything, I hope that my journey doesn’t end here. I hope it follows its course and God guides me through it all. I hope it doesn’t end here. I hope it grows and multiplies. But besides everything, I hope it doesn’t end here, because I would love to meet new people with the same passion and vision in life, to play for what I love, and live with a purpose, to make people happy. I just hope it doesn’t end here.

Since I was little, I always had a unique way of thinking, sometimes even out of the box. I think of any possibility of a situation, like overthinking, which sometimes is bad, but it helps me see from different perspectives, and to be prepared for whatever the future might bring. When applying to college, it was a hard decision to see which ones to apply or even consider, mostly because of their test scores, which I wasn’t really good at. I wanted to be accepted for my talent, and not just for my academics. Be seen by my dreams and not something based on paper. I found colleges that understood that, so I applied, and got accepted.

God showed me how to be a better person and find the missing piece I never thought I was missing. Of course, faith comes with struggle sometimes, but I didn’t go through it alone; He was there. My journey was long before coming to where I am today. It started when I joined music, I started playing cello, but I felt like it was too big for me, even though it has a lovely sound. Then I tried the violin, and I loved it, I kept practicing and even joined professional orchestras. I’ve played in some El Sistema events and musicals. I loved every part of it. However, I also wanted to compose either instrumentals, or classical, or even for films. So, I thought, why not combine both? Why not compose while also producing and playing what I love?

Ever since I was born, I have been called special, and maybe it is for the way I speak and look at things, with such logic and beauty. I often tend to look at things with more intellectual and deeper meaning than their original. And that’s what I like about me; I never give up because I know that things happen for a reason, God drives us through it, through every challenge, reminding us we are never alone. Most of the challenges I’ve faced have destroyed me in such inexplicable ways, and one of them was fighting for my country. I was born in such a beautiful place in South America known as Venezuela. It is indeed pretty, and their people make you feel at home at every party. But sadly, this beautiful country that I call home, has its struggles with its malicious and communist government that we have fought for years that feel forever to leave us in peace. Even though my country has its bad things, I would never be prouder of being Venezuelan, because all my childhood goes back there, my memories and best moments, so it is not just about its ineffectual government, but its beauty and lovely souls. Every time I’m happy something goes down, and I can’t stop thinking why? Why does God give its harder challenges to its stronger soldiers? He knows we can do it; the problem is, do we? Here is where my stress started. Why can’t bad things happen to the bad guys? They'll never learn, but we will. I started overthinking every life situation God put me through, not understanding why me? Until I realize that “God will let you hit rock bottom to make you realize he is the rock at the bottom.” The question is not why do I have anxiety? But how can this help me get closer to you? During this challenge of my life, going through anxiety and depression, I learned not to question, but how to live with the struggles that will bring me closer to the Lord. If you fall, you will always get up and never give up. Besides my struggles, I never gave up on my dreams. Since I was a little girl, I have always loved the idea of music, not just how it sounds, but the way it makes you feel. I started by playing the cello, an amazing but big instrument for a three-year-old.

I have gone through some challenges in my life, but I never gave up on my dreams. Since I was a little girl, I have always loved the idea of music, not just how it sounds, but the way it makes you feel.

I used to love it, like the way it sounded, but when it was played it was magical, it was like the music was floating around you. Until one day because of its position, my neck couldn’t take it anymore, so I switched to the violin. It seemed like a great idea at that moment, and I have never regretted it; but I do regret never practicing cello again. My journey with the violin has been amazing, I've learned more discipline and patience through every path that I've taken. It has built a great person in me, more intellectual and someone that I can say it's more responsible. So no, I don't regret switching, because it made me bring out a better version of myself. Each instrument has its original sound, and when you play it is like you’re connected with the music, you’re part of it. I just love how music can make anyone feel so alive, and that’s why I want to pursue it, anyone should be as lucky to feel alive while dancing or singing or playing their instrument, and that’s the way I feel playing the violin and creating sounds with my production. I also make sounds like beats in band lab and other music apps, which I upload to Spotify, Instagram, and other platforms. Even though my love for music started when I was little, my love for production started a little later, but at least it did. Music production has so many ways to connect music on its own, either if it is instrumental, Dj, beats creator, singer, etc. The reason because I want to pursue the art and the beauty of music is because it impacted my childhood, my person, and myself as a human being, it made me feel better, and like if I am finally worth something. Music makes me feel more special than I already am, it's my way of living and my way to spread God’s word. I just want to do what I love, serving who I love, and that's my perfect future right there.
