MY STORY

I'm Pepa "Pepper" Solana, born and raised in Madrid, Spain, in 1993.
 

Since I as a child, my father fed my love for music. He used to play guitar and sing for me when I was a little girl. He liked to sit on the bed next to me, singing and playing until I fell asleep ... In my dreams, those melodies became my passion.

Many are thus the most inspiring and influential artists who shaped my style: Ella Fitzgerald, Marlena Shaw, Black Crowes, Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Lisa Fisher, Chaka Khan, Etta James, Yebba, Lizzo ...

At the age of 14, I started touring and making a living as a singer. I toured Spanish speaking countries with my bands and other great artists. In 2017 I traveled to NYC to take a music course at the New York Jazz Academy ... And I knew I belonged there.
