Biography

Music has been a part of Mirella Cesa's life since she was young. When Mirella was young, she would visit her aunt who would play music by Armando Manzanero, Leo Dan, Ana Belen, Vikki Carr, among others. She was considered an "old" young person, because she liked to listen to meaningful "grown up" music. She began singing at the gatherings of her friends and family, church, and parties. She then began guitar lessons to supplement her songwriting and singing. One day after graduating high school she traveled to Miami to seek musical opportunities. She then met the successful producer Rudy Perez, and soon after began recording her first album. From among 80 of her own songs, she selected 13 of the best ones, and out of these only 8 made it to the album, as well as songs by Rudy Pérez, Mario Patiño, Ernesto Alejandro Patiño, and Alejando Sabre. Mirella mixes Andean music with pop. Her musical instrument is the charango, an indigenous instrument that sounds like a harp and has the characteristics of a guitar.
