About Carmen Alegre

I'm a 28 years old Spanish girl, melomaniac since I was 5, at those early years instead of Disney Films I would play a hundred times the Opera VHS film "La Traviata" at home so amazed by the singing of those voices! Then I would come to the age of starting to go out (in my village that is 14 years old) and not feeling very into it as the music is my basic point of start to be able to enjoy the night. At that time in my small village all the "party" music that there was was reaggeton and verbenas... Until I was 16 years old and I came up with a great idea, I would record my own CD with the music I liked to listen and give it to the DJ at my village's only nightclub so I could dance, make the vibe change and enjoy my evening. That was my first actual birth as a DJ, that tunes I got in my CD were played and enjoyed by everyone in my village every Saturday night! I took my party CD to many more places always with great success! People doesn't know that they are tired of the commercial music until they feel another frequency, another sounds and you help them break their routine! Thats why I think music and researching for new styles and bands is so important and DJs have to nourish the world with their great discoverments for those who don't have that as a habit. I am also a Cultural Manager and building myself into a Artist Manager and Booker too. So Everything that has to do with Music Industry and Cultures of this world I am so keen to explore and spend my full time on it. I lived in Madrid, Vasc Country, Galicia, Seville, Rome, London, Brighton and currently in Barcelona. I could say I am a little bit from all of those places but I feel more identified with BRIGHTONIAN! I love travelling, I am lucky to say I have a long experience on travelling the world but I have a special conection to Africa as since the first time I went there I felt a deep link to the roots and culture there. In uni I did Advertisement because I like the creative side of it but then I wouldn't like to work for brands so I have never really work for an agency, I like working for people that I personally know or people's musical projects. I have a long and crazy variety of jobs experience, I have even worked at a hula hoop and other juggling equipment warehouse producing and sending circus material all over the world. I love variety, I love changing, transforming and moving on! Every change comes with a great learning and a challenge experience that it makes you grow. I am a very open minded person, relaxed and easygoing, I am very active and hard worker. Independent woman since I was 17 years old.
