About me

Welcome!  
My name is Monica Zùñiga, I live in Mexico city, 
 I share my life with  a wonderful musician Vorian and two
sweet kitties which are my adoration! 



 I think you could say I have two lives, 
art and music and of course I think they are both art
expressed in different ways, at the end is your self who`s being
shared and expressed.

They both started to jump in my heart since little, I probably inherited
all this from my parents, my mom is a painter and also takes lots of
art classes often and my father plays the organ and the guitar very well,
I didn`t know I was going to dedicate my life professionally to art
until I had to decide were to lead my life at age 16.

Because I started to work since very young, I hired private classes and
took workshops whenever I could of singing, music, drawing, painting and
things you wouldn`t believe like traditional Chinese medicine, tai chi and
meditation, it was part of my free days enjoyment but then it
became a fascination for me to learn many different things and techniques,
making books, jewelry, crafts, painting, drawing and things I didn`t know
I was going to use later on in a professional way
 but they called me at that moment, all this while I build a modeling career!



Because of the unique way I molded my self, I am always experimenting
new ways of creating and putting things together,  the magic of creativity
fascinates me, to enter my studio and have lots of fun while in there, it`s something
 I don`t want to change for anything else!

 I encourage my creativity in both fields by keeping on studying
new techniques and experimenting so there is always a new project
on my table and in my heart, that`s why the name of Hands and Heart!


You can visit Hands and Heart an online art community and join us to learn,
share and meet like minded souls to get inspired and more!


I was about to become a fashion and textile designer but planes changed 
and sadly I didn`t finished the career,  Miss Mexico pageant came across and
my plans changed, for  my surprise, I became  Miss Mexico in 1991,
a wonderful experience in my life at age 19 and it has opened lots of new
possibilities in my life, some  I`ve never expected and I feel blessed for them!


In Miss Universe 1992!


Many doors opened but I chose to keep on preparing my self and so
after many years of studying and making music with my partner Vorian, we
now have a band named LIVELULA, we are so happy to finally be on the web
now sharing some of our songs and videos.

You can listen to our music over our facebook fan page! Please join us and help
us grow, being an unsigned band it`s not easy so if you help us with a simple "like"
it will be great, plus you will be able to listen to our songs!


Being an independent band in this changing time in the music industry is hard
but nothing gives more pleasure than to be able to create and share our music!

Thank you for visiting...
Be blessed!
