Micaela Mendez was born in Cordoba in Argentina by an Argentinian mother and a French father in the district of Villa Revol,  known to have hosted groups of "guerrillas" in the past: "I am proud of this neighborhood, its rebellious!"
Her family is a one of artists, like her uncle Mario who is a concert pianist and drummer. He was leading the orchestra of the Theatre Riverindarte in the city of Cordoba. Her aunt was an opera singer and interpreter of the classical repertoire of Wagner, Puccini, Verdi and others. "My house shook the whole street! We could hear Wagner and Chopin and the creations of my uncle. -Tragic!" Her mother is a theatre actress and classical dancer. She studied alongside the arts and became a professor. "My mother has been my guide, support and a source of constant inspiration. She always taught me patiently and passionately, art as well as culture."
Most naturally, Micaela Mendez studied classical ballet at the Theatre of Cordoba, as well as singing and music, classical guitar and percussion. She also had a strong passion for writing and poetry: "I enjoyed writing very early in my life. At the age of seven, I was composing poems for small children. In Argentina, I had fun writing plays for the children of the neighborhood. I spent hours writing. Now I have more than 25 collections of stories, poems, songs and texts! I continued to write short fantasy stories including one entitled "Memories" and another "The wall of stars." I am passionate about mythologies, religions and esoteric texts. I immerse myself in the history of ancient civilizations of Sumer and Pre-Hispanic cultures. "

Micaela was destined for a career in classical dance but at the age of twelve she discovered rock and pop music! Micaela continued her studies in dance after arriving to France and the Cannes Rosella Hightower School. Later she started her own dance academy in Rouen, Normandy.

Micaela Mendez formed her first band at the age of sixteen, Manosanta. The band members were her friends Sergio Komas, jazz and gospel singer and Eduardo Pachari, an excellent classical guitar musician from Peru. Manosanta played in the Normandy region for local television and radio.
"My first songs came from the South American repertoire such as the tango song and old Argentinian folk songs, Bossa Nova and Afro-Cuban boleros. I loved this time, the latin music influenced me a lot in the composition of my tunes. "

Before, the name "Reggaeton" did not exist. It was called "Spanish ragga". Later, Micaela and Sergio began working on this kind of music, by listening to reggae, ragga and ska. "Its amusing mixing rap in Spanish and English! "
Micaela Mendez and her trio performed in Normandy where she also created her association for the spreading of culture and art in all its forms, Art Mouvance, through which she taught dances from South America and classical dance. They organized workshops, parties, shows in collaboration with known artists like Sydney, who was the first black show-host in France, and other associations like Les Hauts de Rouen for inner city youth. They also gave dance lessons at the sports center at the University of Rouen, where they formed a Salsa dance group for the students. Micaela hosted a radio show "Southern Hemisphere" for spreading music and Latin American culture in Europe for two years.

After exploring all possibilities in the region, Micaela decided to go to Paris to work on her songs. "I did not know anyone in Paris, I had to audition again and again to work as a dancer! Everything was fast and no matter how much you work, people lack respect and discipline, no rules! It was not easy to work with others since I was used to run everything by myself. I had to adapt..
I'm not patient and I'm very fast while others expected things of me that I was not accustomed to!"     

Later years..
Micaela worked as a dancer for various artists, TV-shows and cabaret tours in any genre but also as backing vocalist for the Star Academy, Toto Cutugno, Eros Ramazzoti, Bjork, Aventura and their song "Obsession" for French television, Camilo Azuquita, a famous Salsa group. "Working with Azuquita, one of the greatest gentlemen of salsa alive today who sang with the famous" Fania All Stars " was a great musical experience. I learned to sing with the nose, the style of cuban singing, and to get into a rhythm without time: The salsa and sound!"

In 2003 Micaela Mendez worked for a producer in the USA. She recorded an album with a group of four girls called Postales. "I was asked to learn the songs in English and Spanish in a hurry, and sing!
Emotion was prioritized before technique and feeling was more important! We recorded an album in seven weeks! Unheard of in France where you can take a year to finish two songs! "
Micaela later returned to Paris where she worked with two new producers.
"We had a very good thing going on! We worked together a year before signing with Virgin / EMI on the song titled Ton Plaisir (Your Pleasure), which has toured extensively in France and abroad, on radio and dancefloors. Asesino  soon came as the second single. Va y Ven was another song that followed and was put on different compilations released by NRJ and Radio Latina. Sur tes ailes, Mistica, Burning Up and Pas la Peine were other great songs that passed on various international radio stations in Canada, Belgium, Mexico and other Central American countries. Following this collaboration, Micaela separated from her producers.
Micaela worked with DJ LBR for the song Animal Instinct, el lobo, which was released on two compilations for Wagram / Latina and played in New York. Her next reggaeton song was entitled Fievre and was also released on several different compilations.

In 2010, she released her newest CD called Les Noces Alchimiques that was produced by Akamusic and Universal Music in Belgium.
"The Alchemical Wedding is an expression of what I am inside. I love writing songs that have double meanings as in the case of Animal instinct, which speaks of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. It's a simple and festive song.  Its about a wolf that devours the good will! In the wedding, I sing about rebel angels and light and shadow. I like the symbolism and mythology of Babylon, Sumer and prehispanic cults. Examples are The End of Satan by Victor Hugo and The Book of Enoch and his fallen angels, the Genesis and the Apocalypse of John. In the song "L'Arbre Inversé (Inverted Tree) for example, I use the tree as a symbol to talk about the Fallen Angels, living somewhere in the back of our world, looking over the world."

Now she's doing music which can only be described as a mix of rock, reggae and pop. "I'm not stuck, I always love change. I love rock, I listen a lot to Police, Nirvana, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Incubus, Red Hot and The Doors!"

The new songs that are in production as we speak, will blow the minds of a whole world with its steady bass, beautiful melody and inspiring singing from Micaela. She has now moved on from Reggaeton and will be rocking away in her own path from here on out.
