1. What were your first thoughts when you realised you had won a medal at the Karaoke World Championship?
I felt weird hearing my name in third place. I couldn't believe it! Although I really wanted the first place (as everyone of us haha), I felt really honored. Lots of wonderful voices and being awarded in one of the first places, wow! You feel all your work is being worthy now.

2. How do you feel now when you look back at the whole competition, what was your KWC experience like?
Unforgettable experience! I remember when there was a great interpretation on stage, we were all listening carefully to the singer and being moved, then everybody was cheering and waving their colourful flags, that was Pure Love! This experience really touched my heart.

3. What surprised you most at World finals?
All the unity and friendship between contestants. We all felt in a good atmosphere there, working for getting a place in the best way.

4. What kind of future plans do you have regarding music and singing?
I would love to rise up my social media with high quality material for showing my work to the world. Im not a traditional Mexican music singer, but after this contest, I will seriously think about it, I gained a lot of Mexican fans with this hahaha.

5. What tips would you give to next years’ contestants?
To have a great voice and being vocally trained is very important. But the most important here is to interpret, to be unique, to be an honest performer and leave your soul in the stage!!! Give love to the audience!

+ Greetings to all our KWC family
Thank you for all these amazing days sharing music, sharing friendship. I take in my heart the great voices of everyone of you and the kind treat of all the staff . Hope we can all meet in the future. Thank you and success for everybody!
