The first album 'Olivia' (Adhyâropa Records) was released recently. A collection of songs representative of the eclecticism and musical fusion that Pérez-Collellmir professes, exploring jazz, flamenco, classical music and Spanish folk traditions to create a universal sound without borders. 'Olivia' captures the native sounds of Barcelona, her hometown. Original songs composed by the Catalan artist and arrangements of pieces by Maurice Ravel and Frederic Mompou with 'Barcelona' as the centerpiece of the project. She also takes some exotic approaches to India and the Middle East.
“This first album is fulfilling a dream after 10 years since my trip to the United States to study at Berklee. A journey of great dedication, sacrifice and renunciation dedicated completely to playing, acting, studying, researching, composing and educating. The realization of a path of personal search and the result of the creative path of a lifetime. 'Olivia' is the story of this journey. My identity, my voice and my language as an artist are here”. “I can't imagine life without music. Art in general and music in particular are the most direct and connected form of expression of the human soul. Music is my natural language. I need it to breathe, to live and to be happy. I started studying music when I was just 4 years old. It's been a part of me since I can practically remember. The passion started from the first moment,” she added about her philosophy.
