About Adriana Suarez

Born in Cuba, Adriana discovered her passion for the arts at a young age, initially exploring dance and gymnastics before finding her true calling in music, particularly singing. Her musical journey began at age 8 when she started piano lessons at the Benny More Art School, later continuing her studies at the National School of Music in Havana.

As she delved deeper into music theory and performance, Adriana's interest in teaching became apparent. During her social service at her alma mater, she taught subjects like Music Theory, Musical Appreciation, and Piano to students aged 8 to 15, while also serving as a pianist accompanist and presenter for school activities. Outside of school, she assisted aspiring art school students and conducted music workshops for amateur musicians.

In 2021, Adriana expanded her musical horizons by joining the "Collage" Female Quartet, showcasing her talents as a keyboardist and vocalist across various genres. Alongside her musical pursuits, she devoted her time to animal welfare, working as a rescuer, foster parent, and vocal advocate for animal rights.

Though her university studies in Musical Pedagogy were interrupted by life's twists and turns, Adriana remained resilient, relocating to Miami and immersing herself in the local community. She found fulfillment in working at a veterinary clinic and offering private piano lessons to children. In her free time, she enjoys going to the movies, exercising, and experimenting with new recipes, embodying her ethos of embracing diversity and lifelong learning.
