—How did you find out about the casting?
—Some classmates tagged me, they told me “Ale, it's your chance, you have to go, I know you're going to win, I trust you, you can do it”, so I went to try, they accompanied me, I stood in line like all the girls, They tested me and I was among the 30 finalists, then 10 passed and then 7 remained.
—Have you already signed a contract?
—That remains to be seen. Today we have a meeting and I imagine that will be talked about.

—How do you manage your nerves?
—In 'Sábado con Andrés' when we went live I did get a little nervous, because it was the first time I appeared on television, but you have to deal with it. (To avoid nerves) I have to concentrate and imagine that I am alone singing, and I think that is my technique, now that I am starting.

—I started singing when I was 6 years old. I would pick up the microphone and start singing on the sidewalk of my house and my neighbors were always outside listening to me. The one who always took me, every time they called me, she has been my mother. She is the one who has always been behind me, and she has supported me to this day.
—How would you describe yourself in a single word?
—I describe myself with the word 'humility'. I consider myself a humble and simple person. For the people who are going to know me, they are going to see that I am a simple person.

—I like to make desserts. When I have nothing to do, I make sweets.
—Was your dream always to be a singer?
—Yes, my dream was always to be a singer and be in a well-known group. Thank God I have fulfilled my dream as a singer and I continue to grow as a person.
—What would you say to the fans of La Bella Luz? What do you promise them?
—I promise to give my best on stage and off the stage as well. I want you to see that I am a beautiful, kind, simple, fun person, and I hope you like my new entry.
