Life Story

Born and raised in Nogoyá, Entre Ríos. Emilia's devotion to music began when she was just 12-years-old and her grandfather gave her a guitar. Since then creating melodies, strumming her guitar, singing and dancing have become her passions. Like any girl, she studied in college. She had chosen Literature, but after 6 months she realized that this career was not her thing. So she went home and asked her parents that she wanted to study music at UNR. However, she never made it to her first class. In her spare time she began to rehearse songs locked in the bathroom, because there was good acoustics. This is how she recorded her first cover and uploaded it to Instagram. From there, everything happened in fast motion. They asked her to do a casting in Buenos Aires, she traveled and got a place in the Rombai group. Within a week, she was already doing her first show at Luna Park. Later, she left Rombai, became a soloist and went to live in Miami.[2]
