The sun-kissed life I've lived has been a wild ride. Born and raised on the coast of Spain, I was always drawn to the ocean's soothing rhythms. My early years were spent frolicking on the beach with my siblings, learning how to surf and bodyboard from our father - a former pro surfer himself. Summer afternoons were often spent lounging by the shore, basking in the golden glow of sunset as we'd watch the fishermen unload their daily catch.

As I grew older, so did my love for music. My mother, a talented singer-songwriter herself, would play her acoustic guitar around campfires under starry skies while teaching me how to strum and hum along. It wasn't long before I found myself writing my own lyrics, pouring my heart out into each chord progression as if it were a letter to the sea itself.

My teenage years took me on adventures both inland and abroad - from backpacking across Europe with friends during the summer months, to spending winters interning at film festivals in Los Angeles. Always drawn to artistic pursuits, I began modeling part-time while studying fine arts at university back home. Eventually landing a few high-profile campaigns for international brands brought my passion project full circle – combining my love of art with my flair for drama on camera.
