"I describe myself as a hard-working, creative, disciplined and multipotential person because from the beginning of my university education I have been involved in a variety of projects in different areas, such as the music industry, linguistics, marketing, etc. Becoming a founder of a job at an early age has led me to enhance the
vision that I would have in the future. Which brought me to the UK in
2018. I set up my company “Lowmid Production” in 2019 and with
that, a new part of my journey, which is in the UK art, business and
language area, has begun."
