When a young girl grows up from an island in the Caribbean and moves to a melting pot like New York City, suddenly ones horizons expand.

I come from a musical family – my dad was part of a merengue band and always encouraged me to be myself." After setting foot in Harlem and barely speaking a word of English, Carmelina’s dad handed her a Madonna cd and that’s when she instantly knew what she wanted to do with her life.
