María Isabel grew up in a musical family while living in Queens. She always knew she wanted to make music, citing powerful women such as Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, and Lauryn Hill as her biggest influences.
She studied in the music program at New York University while singing for the campus' a cappella group, APC Rhythm. Only during her first year at NYU did she start writing and recording her own songs, giving her a new outlet to express her thoughts and feelings. Soon after, she began to gain popularity through her Instagram and SoundCloud, where she would publish covers in addition to her own music.
After graduation, María Isabel moved to Los Angeles to further her career. In February 2020, she released her debut single “The 1,” followed by her debut EP Stuck In The Sky in October of the same year, which is based on the painful experience of a long-distance relationship.
(2) María Isabel López Rodríguez (b. 4 January 1995), known professionally as María Isabel, is a Spanish singer and songwriter. She is best known for winning the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Antes muerta que sencilla". Winning at the age of nine years, ten months, and 16 days old, she became the youngest person to win the contest to date (a few days younger than the Tolmachevy Sisters, the only other nine-year-old winners).
Several weeks before winning the festival she released her first album, titled "¡No me toques las palmas que me conozco!". This CD included "Antes muerta que sencilla", which launched her career in the Spanish show business world, making her a competitor of another Spaniard child star, Melody.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tengo talento
soy una experta en manejar la situacion
no tengo miedo
yo soy de fuego
la nueva moda que esta a punto de explosion
no tengo limites en el horizonte
toda la vida por delante de mi
para volar y volar y volar y volar
Quiero subir hasta lo alto del empire stein
quiero llegar a ser la estrella con la que soñe
voy a tocar la luna con mis dedos
y recorrer el mundo entero viajando
en mi limusin
es demasiado
mi jet privado
metalizado en tono rosa y en azul
en un instante
alucinante
surcar el cielo aterrizando en holliwood
no tengo limites en el horizonte
estoy lista para despegar
toda la vida por delante de mi
para volar y volar y volar y volar
quiero subir hasta lo alto del empire stein
quiero llegar a ser la estrella con la que soñe
voy a tocar la luna con mis dedos
y recorrer el mundo entero viajando
en mi limusin
y en una alfombra roja conquistar miami
y entre tantos paparachis recoger mi grami
tocar mi sueño para nunca dejar
de cantar y cantar y cantar
quiero subir.....
