She was named by Newsweek as one of 20 young Latinos to watch in the new millennium and was featured in John F. Kennedy''s "George" magazine.
She has been a member of legendary performance-artist El Vez''s band since 1996, traveling across the globe to crowds of up to 100,000 people. As a solo artist, she has opened for the likes of Los Lobos, John Doe of L.A.''s legendary punk-band "X", Green Day, Victoria Williams, and Mexico''s leading rock group, the Jaguares.
In 1997, she landed a starring role in the critically acclaimed indie-film Star Maps --a favorite at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival-- and, for this, earned a Best Debut Performance nomination from the Independent Spirit Awards. She also served as the film''s musical director (which was the first feature film to utilize a track by folk cult-hero Nick Drake), as well as producing the soundtrack for Geffen Records.
