Music and Performing Arts
She graduated in classical and contemporary violin performance (2007) and in jazz singing performance (2012) from the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC).
She began her professional career as a violinist, singer, and actress in the musical La Perritxola by Dagoll Dagom, the opening performance of the 2003 Grec Festival. This adaptation of Offenbach’s operetta integrates the musicians as choir members and as characters within the stage action.
Later, she joined the orchestra of Dagoll Dagom’s musicals Mar i Cel (2004) and El Mikado (2005) as a violinist, as well as Cabaret (2008), produced by Stage Entertainment.
In 2010, she took part in the reopening of the El Molino theatre in Barcelona as a permanent member of the band led by Xavier Torras, performing there for two seasons.
From 2008 to 2025, she was part of the family show El col·leccionista de paisatges, which toured venues across Spain and Portugal.
From 2014 to 2023, she collaborated with the Manolo Alcántara Company (Spain’s National Circus Award 2021) in two contemporary circus productions: Rudo and Déjà Vu. In Rudo, she performed as a violinist, singer, and actress; in Déjà Vu, she also took on musical composition and arrangements in addition to her roles as singer, violinist, and performer. With this company, she toured Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, and Portugal.
In the 2019–2020 season, she performed as a solo singer in the project Canta Gran! alongside Celeste Alías, under the production of the Barcelona City Council and L’Auditori’s Educational Service.
Since 2003, she has continuously collaborated with the group Túrnez & Sesé, dedicated to setting Catalan poetry to music. She has participated in the recordings of the albums L’arbre de l’esperança, Sol blanc, Romanços i estampes del 21, Vestigis and Com l’infant de les tardes robades. For Túrnez & Sesé, she has also created various arrangements for both live performances and recordings, and has served as musical co-producer of the album Vestigis, together with Jordi Batiste and Jordi Ruiz.
At the same time, she has collaborated as both violinist and singer with artists such as Joan Isaac, Clara Peya, Sanjosex & Belda, Jordi Batiste, Albert Fibla, and Xavi Túrnez, among others.
In 2017, she released her debut solo album, Vinc d’un cel blau, an intimate and personal project in which she appears as composer, arranger, singer, and violinist. The poems and lyrics by various Catalan authors served as the basis for her compositions.
As a teacher, she has over twelve years of experience giving singing lessons at institutions such as the Conservatori Municipal de Música de Barcelona (Bruc Obert program), the Escola Municipal de Música de l’Eixample – Joan Manuel Serrat, and the Institut del Teatre.
