Vega is not an ordinary artist. Her recent nomination for the Latin Grammy in the category of Best Pop/Rock Album is undoubtedly recognition for a great album, but also for a great artist. “La Cuenta Atrás” (Sony Music), produced by Sebastian Krys, a renowned producer, “is an optimistic record” according to Vega, “this is the record I had to make; this nomination is definitely encouraging and reaffirming and keeps me working in the same direction”. For this record, Vega has had the collaboration of exceptional musicians such as Abe Laboriel Jr., David Levita, Chris Chaney and Robert J. Manning Jr.
A musical genre often times describes an artist’s personality, but in Vega’s case definitions don’t apply. She was born in Cordoba, Spain, as Mercedes Migel Carpio, and graduated from her career in advertising and public relations. Vega has a great passion: music who is a performer and songwriter of her own songs. She is actively involved in all aspects of her career: writing songs, and producing music and videos, where she is always involved in writing the screenplay as well as acting.
