Todo empezó el 4 de junio del 2006.  No tenía nada que perder, mis esfuerzos por promocionar el disco "Nueve y viceversa" me dejaron exhausta y desilusionada.  10 canciones que todavía eran mías, pues ninguna disquera quiso firmarlas, guardadas en cajas, envejeciendo en silencio.  Por iniciativa de Pablo Arrieta, quien conocía la existencia del CC Mixter, volví a grabar a capella la canción "Nada,nada" en el pequeño estudio de la casa de mi hermana, sin ninguna expectativa, solo por probar.
 
 
 
Imagine my surprise when two days later the first remix had already appeared and nine days later another and 15 days later another and another... It was magic, a miracle, each time someone in the United States, Germany, Hungary, England, made a new version, without understanding anything that I was singing about, with no intention of making money, without money or promotion, only for the pleasure to make music and to share it with people!  I began to record my songs a capella and to record my own vocals in other songs on CC Mixter than had no vocal track.  In this way the work was going in two directions: sometimes I was the starting point for others to create music based on my voice; other times, I took a track that already existed and fit myself into it.
 
  
Cuál sería mi sorpresa cuando a los dos días ya había una primera mezcla y a los nueve otra y a los quince otra y otra... Era mágico, un milagro cada vez que alguien en Estados Unidos, Alemania, Hungría, Inglaterra, hacía una nueva versión, sin entender nada de lo que estaba cantando, sin ningún interés comercial, sin dinero ni promoción de por medio, solo por el placer de hacer música y de compartirla con la genteEmpecé a grabar más canciones a capella y a basarme en otras pistas sin voz de otros músicos en el CC Mixter.  De esta forma el trabajo iba en dos direcciones: unas veces era yo el punto de partida para que otros crearan basándose en mi voz; otras veces, yo tomaba una pista que ya existía y me acomodaba a ella.

Overview

It all began on June 4, 2008. I didn't have anything to lose, my efforts to promote the disc "Nueve y viceversa" left me exhausted and disillusioned. 10 songs that were still mine, since no record label was interested in them, stored in boxes, silently ageing. Spurred on by a suggestion from Pablo Arrieta, who knew about CC Mixter, in a small studio in my sister's house I re-recorded a cappella the song "Nada,nada", without any expectations, only as a test.

Imagine my surprise when two days later the first remix had already appeared and nine days later another and 15 days later another and another... It was magic, a miracle, each time someone in the United States, Germany, Hungary, England, made a new version, without understanding anything that I was singing about, with no intention of making money, without money or promotion, only for the pleasure of making music and to share it with people! I began to record more songs a cappella and to record my own vocals in other songs on CC Mixter than had no vocal track. In this way the work was going in two directions: sometimes I was the starting point for others to create music based on my voice; other times, I took a track that already existed and fit myself into it.

Time went by and today, two years later, I have uploaded 12 songs which now have 120 remixes that continue circulating on the Internet, available to be "re-created" and one of them is about to take a new turn. Through CC Mixter, the French DJ Benoit Cassar found out about my music and chose "te amaré siempre" for a commercial project that will be edited in Greece in June of 2008.
