Juliana Gattas (born August 1, 1978, in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine singer and actress. She is recognized as one of the founding members and lead vocalists of the pop group miranda!, which formed in 2001 alongside Alejandro Sergi.
In her early years, She enjoyed divas, Hollywood stars, and classic films. Gattas greatly admired Federico Fellini. She cites Annie Lennox and Boy George as inspirations. [1] She knew she wanted to sing, although she began studying seriously at the age of fifteen; in the meantime she did theater, ceramics and painting. [2]
Before joining the group Miranda! she made a living as a jazz singer between 1997 and 1998 and her audience was generally limited to bars and small dance complexes. [3] However, during a jazz concert, she met Alejandro Sergi and a friendship arose between them. They discovered that they had similar musical tastes and common goals and decided to form a musical group. Together they formed the duo called "Lirio", where he played the role of programmer, reworking jazz songs in an electronic style and she sang. For their performances, Alejandro Sergi decided to compose his own song called "Imán", and when he played it live they saw that the reactions were positive. Leandro Fuentes, known as "Lolo", was one of the people in the audience, and being fascinated by their performance, he decided to approach them to form a band. [4] [5]
