Vega (singer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mercedes Mígel Carpio (Córdoba, February 18, 1979), alias Vega, is a Spanish singer-songwriter.
Her interest about music was born in her childhood. She went studying Advertising and Public Relations to Segovia, where she worked as a waitress. She left her university career to be a contestant in Operación Triunfo 2003, her springboard to fame. Her musical style can be defined as the classical Spanish canción de autor, but it shows influences of Frank Sinatra, K's Choice or Sting.
In 2006, she released her second album : Circular, with the first single being 'Una Vida Contigo'. The album stalled at #40 in the Spanish charts, although the single received huge radio play.
