About
BIOGRAPHY
@Krystallenia Photography
Marina Pacheco started singing at a very young age, representing Portugal at 37º Zecchino d'Oro, in Italy (1994).
Since then she kept thinking about being a professional singer and started a musical path strongly moved by her desire of doing what she loved the most: to be on stage with all magic it represents to her.
After many years of education and practicing she developed a professional path, traveling all around the world to perform and surrender in front of different audiences.
Marina keeps working hard always under the motto she learned when she was a child: "You're never fully dressed without a smile." (from the musical Annie)
“You’re never fully dressed without a smile!”
