MARIANA PERDOMO BIOGRAPHY

She grew up listening to the music her parents listened to, with her main influences being artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Ana Belén, José Luis Perales, Juan Luis Guerra, Silvio Rodríguez, Pablo Milanés, Gloria Estefan, Ana Gabriel, and Ricardo Montaner. She also draws inspiration from national artists and bands such as Virus, Soda Stereo, Serú Girán, Los Rodríguez, León Gieco, Jorge Cafrune, and Víctor Heredia.

She began singing as a child, in the parish of her neighborhood. She recalls that even before she could speak well, she was already singing.

Before turning 10, she participated as a solo singer in a diocesan-level competition representing the parish she attended and won first place, marking her first performance in front of an audience. There, she discovered her passion, and from then on, she participated in all singing-related activities available to her, including joining the school choir and participating in both municipal and school events (both in primary and secondary school).

During her adolescence, she received proposals to become a vocalist for Cumbia bands, but fear of entering an environment she considered dangerous led her to reject them.
