Is a New Yorker by birth, a citizen of the world by chance and a Colombian by heart. Her father is a diplomat for the Colombian government - which explains the many countries where she grew up in - and her mother is a professional esthetician. Her two brothers, José and Carlos, are also involved in the entertainment world and have been an influential part of her career. Inés Gaviria's love affair with music began at the age of 13 while living in Chile. As a rebellious teenager, Inés wasn't happy with the move to this far away country and buried herself in the guitar she received as a gift. A few chords, a lot of practice and with some pen and paper, Inés wrote her first song: Eterno. The song ended up in a drawer until a few years later - and back in Colombia - helped Inés win her first national talent show ("Intercolegiados de Radio Activa"). Seduced by the stage, Inés went on to participate in a number of talent shows while pursuing her law degree. Inés completed her education - top of the class - yet she never practiced, instead, she packed up her bags - along with her dreams - and settled in Miami... music was her calling. One day like any other, her brother Carlos - now a famous photographer - invited her to come to a photo shoot with him, the subject: Cristian Castro. Inés took this opportunity and introduced herself; she spoke of her dreams to sing and actually sang to him. His reaction: nothing. A few weeks later she received a call from Castro's camp inviting her to sing back-up vocals for a new song. With this new shot of confidence, Inés worked even harder to get into the local musical scene. She was backup vocalist for Ricardo Montaner, Diego Torres, Alessandra, Victoria, and more. She shopped her music to various publishers and co-wrote with a number of established songwriters such as Alih Jey. Her songs have been recorded by some of the most influential Latin artists such as Olga Tañon, Xarah, Escarcha and Chiles Verdes. As co-writer of "ficha de ajedrez", Inés took third place in the 2nd World Song Festival held in San Juan, Puerto Rico in March 2004. After a few years working in what seemed "all the restaurants in Miami", Inés goal was within reach. Thanks to all the contacts during her time in Miami, and while recording her first solo album, Inés was invited to participate in the "Songwriters' Exchange" organized by Respek Records. During the event, she met Mark Eman, Respek Records president, who was awestruck with her talent and invited her to join the Respek family. With offers coming from the big labels, Inés went the independent route and found what she had been looking for: creative liberty and above all, a place to feel welcomed. Today, four years after arriving in Miami, Inés is ready to launch her first album and share it with the world. Her debut will rock the industry with her unique style and her sultry, powerful voice.
