Biography

THE BEGINING

I was born in September 20, 1986, in San Luis Potosi, S.L.P., Mexico, my mother is María del Rosario Izquierdo, and my father was Hugo Martínez Aranda. I am their only child, but my dad had other 3 kids before to get married with my mother.
My full name is Perla Grisell Martínez Izquierdo, but I really hate my name "perla", it means pearl, but, I don't know, I feel it is really hard, I just don't like it at all, so, that's why I don't use that name really much, just call me Grisell. My name Grisell is because an uncle I had, rest in peace, he loved to dance tango, and actually, Grisell is a tango:
Translation: I shouldn't think to get your heart
but I looked for you until I found you
and I made you to confuse with a kiss
I didn't care if you were good.
Your illusions were made of glass and I broke them when I leaved
because I never came back, it was a bitter pain for you
"Don't forget about me, your Grisel" You told me that when you kissed your cross
and now I am crazy because I never forgot you, you don't even remember me Grisel, Grisel.
I missed your voice and your warm sight,
and I looked for you madly, but I never could find you
and I got confused in other lips, ALL MY LIFE WAS A LIE!
What will happen with me Grisel?
God's law is done, because who hurt you paid his fault.

Since I was very very young, the music has been really important for me, the first songs I started to sing since I was 2 or 3 years old were from a Mexican singer called Gloria Trevi, also songs from Alejandra Guzman, both were the most popular female singers in Mexico at the end of 80's and in 90's.


 

I was raiced as catholic, actually I studied 12 years in nun's schools, since i was 3. Maybe religious classes are the reason because I am not catholic anymore, not even christian or anything. I just try to be good, and treat well the people.

MY DARKEST MOMENT

The hardest moment in all my life, definitely was when my father died, september 20, 1995 was the most horrible birthday I've ever had. Since then, my life became really hard, my dad's family was against my mother, well, not all of them, I still have some uncles and aunts from my dad who are great with me an my mom. But an aunt even tried to send my mother to prission, but she was really stupid because she was using a check with the forged signature of my mother, so she could not do anything against her. I lost contact with my brother and sisters, we had no any problem, but, we just, lost contact, that's all.

LOST LOVE
When I was 15, I leaved the school for a couple of years, I just didn't know what to do with my life, and when I was 16, I met a man, and I fell deeply inlove with him, I'll call him William, because I love Prince William, lol.
William made me to return to school, and it is something I thank to him, but also, he was very jealous, and he didn't want me to sing, so I was in silence the entire 7 years that we were together.
We broke up in 2010, and I was very depresive, I felt so angry with my destiny, I felt so sad, and there is when I started to listen heavy metal, only the furious gitars made me to feel better.

NIGHTWISH: MY REBIRTH
One day I was watchin a video on YouTube of a mexican band called "Anabantha", they have their version of "The Phantom of the Opera" but in spanish, and I was reading the coments where people said that Tarja Turunen's version was better, so I started to search... and then was when Nightwish get into my life, and actually, Nightwish saved my life


Nightwish, with and without Tarja Turunen made me to remember my biggest dream, my biggest passion, what I had wanted all my life and what I tried to deny for a stupid love: to sing.
In August 2011 I get in the Cultural departmen of the San Luis Potosi's University to study singing. And since January 2012 I am in an operatic choir named "Capella Universitaria", there I train my voice, and also, we make some concerts for the university, in March 30, 2012 we'll sing Mozart's Requiem actually.

Recently I lost my job, and I am trying to make my dream become real, so I'm looking for a metal band to sing there, and share the love for music. So if you are interested, just send me an e-mail
