even though i wanted to play since i was a child, i just couldn't do it. i was too shy to do the most important thing in my life: music.
i wouldn't consider myself a shy person. at all. that's probably why, to be able to pay my rent and guitar lessons i decided to get a cool job: nice money, only a few hours a week. and i found it: a tv show. i started to act in a 7pm show. it was about making fun of the news broadcast and i my part was impersonating different characters. (i have to make a pause here to let you know i am from argentina and all this was happening in buenos aires and also that you may find huge english errors!!!)
it went very well and the biggest comedy star at the time called me to be part of his show. and that went even better, so two years later i ended up having my own show, called juana y sus hermanas (juana and her sisters), which was on the air for three years. it was a sketch-based format and i continued to impersonate the most popular kind of animals (meaning people) we have in in our society. it was something very local, because the people i was making fun of were very local.


time passed by and one day i met someone and got immediately pregnant. i had to stay in bed for two months. it was a blessing, because i had the time to think: "what am i doing?" i said to myself. "what about the guitar lessons and music?", then i decided to stop everything right away.

i started to listen to old cassettes with old songs i'd written before i started to act. i decided to make a record with them asap. so i did. and it was released in 1996. called RARA (which means weird, i was talking about the weird mood i was in).
people were stunned. they thought i was totally crazy. i had become the most important comedian in argentina and all of the sudden i decided to throw everythinmg through the window? no. people and press weren't going to accept that. i was just mis-behaving. and i had to be punished. so no one ever played one of my songs on the radio.
people used to come to my shows, but they wanted me to make them laugh, so the booed me (well, kind of) and left before the show was over. only a few stayed. and from these few people i started to build, very slowly, a new audience. it took a long time.
for a while people screamed at me: hey! make the valley girl (there are not valley girls in argentina, but just so you can figure).


again, time passed by and i moved to los angeles, because i knew there was one radio that was playing my songs, kcrw. i thougth i had to go where i was welcome. i called the radio to thank them and they invited me to play live!!!
i stayed in LA for one year and a half, learned the language and started to record SEGUNDO, my second record. then i had to leave because of immigration problems. i didn't want to be a prisoner in the states (if you don't have a visa you can't leave the country, otherwise you wouldn't be able to come back). so we decided to go back to argentina.
i finished the record there and self released it in 2000.
a friend told me to send a copy to a guy in japan "if he likes it, he might buy you a bunch", he said. so i did. and i sold al lot. i started to record another album: TRES COSAS. it was released in 2002. by then i had sold about 30,000 copies in japan. i couldn't believe what was happening.

one day i got an email from domino records asking if i was interested in licensing the records. i was. and that's it.
i'm playing in north america, europe, japan, argentina. i even have a huge audience in my own country now...what else could i want?
i'm happy
and very thankful.
