Merche: “My daughter is the most beautiful gift that this life has made to me”

It’s 21.00 and Merche Follow at the foot of the cannon after an intensive interview day. It gives off an energy that has a lot to do with the passion he feels for a job that has many demands: «This profession is hard, I knew that there would be times of little work and that success does not always accompany you. I have learned not to bitter. The search for constant success no longer generates anxiety. If I turn to a project, I do not feel guilty if the result is less than expected. The important thing for me is to feel satisfied with the effort made ». The Gaditana presents the ‘Open your Tour Mind’, «Six personal and original concerts in six different cities», and a single, ‘I have faith’, in which his heart opens on the channel: «It is a topic dedicated to unconditional love, to a deep feeling that is now in disuse because we are increasingly selfish ». He is happy with the reception from his followers: “The ‘merchitos’ are very beautiful, take care of me and send me precious messages.”

Escared by life, Merche defines “romantic with nuances”: “It goes for streaks, but my romanticism depends above all with whom. Sometimes I have left if I do not receive it from the right person ». What is clear is that she is not a jealous woman: «Jealousy is a sample of insecurity. I, if someone wants to be with me, perfect, what is. But if it is not clear … »In matters of love, his heart is overturned in his daughter:« His arrival changed everything to me, it is the most beautiful gift that life has made me. As a mother, I know I could do things better, but she tells me that I am the best in the world. I feel very proud of his way of being and thinking, his empathy and his solidarity ».

And Merche is a committed woman: «I do not tolerate injustice and I feel helpless when I see that I cannot fix everything bad that is done to the weakest. If I can feel proud of something, it is my sense of justice. I rebel if something is not right, I am not quiet, I intervene if I can put my grain of sand to put on solution ». He also recognizes his weaknesses: «I am too perfectionist at work and I always want to improve things. I must learn to delegate to the processes and not to be so hard with myself. In addition, I cannot keep the mistakes and not value the rest of the work, which is often very achieved ». And when he is aware that he must disconnect, he finds peace «In my house, with my daughter, my puppy, smelling in the morning the aroma of the wet grass or the sea. I enjoy with the simple moments ».

Taken by the bustle of artist’s life, he recognizes the importance of routines: «Maternity has its demands that I must meet for my daughter’s education, but I like to improvise. The best plans are what are not thought. Maybe that’s why he keeps his adventurous spirit: «I am to lock my blanket and get out of adventure. The last one was a caravan trip through the White Peoples of the Sierra de Cádiz. I had a great time ».

Merche cannot deny his dreamy side: «I always liked fantasizing, it was a way to visualize my future. And what I wanted most has been fulfilled, also because I have worked for my dream ». If I had to imagine in a few years, turned into a grandmother, it is seen “taking my life with humor, dressed in a tracksuit, reading and watching movies, playing with my grandchildren, which I hope gives me my daughter.”

“According to my mother,” Merche recalls, “I already sang before starting to speak.” But, unlike other early artists, it was not to get on a table to start and attract attention from everyone: «I spent the day for Marisolgrabbing the hair brush as if it were the microphone, but in family gatherings I was ashamed. It still happens to me at parties with friends. Now, as a child and with my friends, I caught the guitar and did not stop. He was also ashamed to suspend some subjects, so he was a good student at school. With his gang was not of the bossonas: “I liked that each one had its prominence, so we distributed the plans so that we were all happy.”

Merche had a happy childhood, very close to his two sisters: «We loved the board games, from the Monopoly to Parking. We also fought, of course, but we did many things together. Now they are still next to me, because they both work with me ». As little ones, his mother called them “toad, sapito and sape,” always together. And so they continue: “It is that we are very different, but we get along very well.” Merche was «a little naughty girl, something introverted, animal lover. I, if I saw a wounded dove, took care of her and took her to the veterinarian. My family was a puppy and I loved taking care of him. Now I have one that is very old, he is 15 years old, and I am very aware of him ».
