native of Cartagena,
Colombia, Carmen immigrated to the United States
at the age of two. Although she was raised and educated
in the US, she has maintained strong ties to her
ethnic roots. Her strong interest in entertainment
was evident from the beginning. She would always
take center stage at family and religious gatherings.
Her bicultural rearing has clearly shaped her diverse
musical interest. She is equally comfortable with
Latin based musical styles, R&B Neosoul and
pop. She has had the pleasure of working with established
music producers in many styles and so her musical
style is a fusion of her many musical paths. Her
professional career began with Miami based producers.
Over the past ten years she has been involved with
various high profile groups: Fade to Black, Mimosa
(
managed by Frank Diaz and Luis Martinee, which also
managed the 80s superstar group- EXPOSE. Mimosa
released a cd single called Shake Your Body at Specs
Music/Coconut Grove.) and N-Fuzzion (they performed
on Univisions top rated shows: Marta Susana, Despierta

Carmen has studied many dance styles including
Jazz, hip hop, tap and ballet. This background gives
her a commanding and potent stage presence. In addition
to being a personal trainer, she has a deep interest
in health and fitness and certainly has the body
and stamina to prove it. In a word... She is the
total package!
