Ellas

The time is now to fearlessly own the power of our voices! I chat with the inspiring BIANCA. In episode 37, independent artist BIANCA shares how she discovered her passion to become her own artist, not being afraid of her gift, and becoming her own artist instead of just writing songs! BIANCA is a talented independent artist that truly isn't afraid to connect with her audience, find her own sound, and bring her authenticity to different platforms such as SoundCloud and YouTube where she has been receiving over 56k stream plays which led her to release her recent single in 2019 titled "Cold Heart" on Spotify which has received almost 100k streams and keeps growing! As a rising star who is working towards her musical dreams, she also shares pivotal advice to aspiring Latinas who want to break into the industry!
