Here she has already shared the stage with Javier Ruibal(Spain), Octavio Kotan(Cuba), Nono Garcia(Andalucía), Johnny Phillips(London)..as a pianist and as a singer. Soon she started composing her own songs, and recorded her first EP "Out of my comfort zone" in New York 2009 with David Binney, John Escreet, Zack Lober and Greg Ritchie. "Her songs, moving, full of melodic richness,..with interesting calls to very different musical traditions, but with that familiar air we use to call jazz,..those chord changes that are still miraculously harmonic, the play of her voice caming and going... her roots are present and alive, but at the same time she incorporates Andalusian airs like a new coat in the layers of her personality, like the testimony of what she already is, of what everybody is, passersby, in the end. Like her nomadic music" (JJ Tellez, Spain) Some musical reviewers (Lobuono, Italy) have named this composer as "the Virginia Woolf of piano", for the emphasised literary nature of her songs, which reflect her inner life's experiences". (Diario de Cadiz).
