Her time in LA saw her working with Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon, Richie Gajate-Garcia, The Henry Mora Orchestra and as a backing vocalist on the Premios Los Nuestro television show. Since moving to London she was immediately snapped up by the salsa scene, performing with the likes of Roberto Pla, Edwin Sanz and the Colombian group Palenke.
