Bilingual songwriter/producer Caracol was born into a musical family, with an Uruguayan father and a Swiss mother. Her journey began at 12 years with classical violin training prior to playing electric guitar in punk bands as a teenager while she started experimenting with songwriting. After a few years on the road as a semi-professional snowboarding athlete, she settled in Montreal where she studied sound design and then landed a job as an assistant sound engineer, acquiring precious knowledge about recording, post-production and film music. Her solo career began after exiting the global music-inspired percussion/vocal eponymous duo Dobacaracol. In and around releasing four albums, she has penned songs for winners of the talent contest La Voix plus over half of New Brunswick singer David Myles’ Francophone album. Her atypical journey captivates listeners with a sonic hybrid of electro pop-tinged folk, cabaret, pop plus tribal percussion and beats.
