I knew I wanted a stable career (I never took a pandemic into account, my mistake) but I wanted to be in the arts. Thus, my time working in theatrical administration was born.

María Grever was a pioneering Mexican composer who received acclaim and international recognition for her many works that went on to be covered by some of the biggest performers of the time. You might know María Grever’s popular song What A Difference A Day Makes, translated from its original Cuando vuelva a tu lado, that went on to win a Grammy in 1959 as sung by Jazz legend Dinah Washington. Grever was not a ‘one hit wonder’ by any means, as her numerous musical successes demonstrate.
