Puerto Rican-born Analena was raised in Florida hearing Latin pop, Mariah Carey, and similar music while developing her own tone of voice. Moving to NEW YORK at age 18, she started pursuing a profession in pop music with a number of different manufacturers until she ultimately formed her very own SouLatin Productions to advertise and generate her own tasks. She relocated to Tx in 2001 to dedicate additional time to SouLatin, also to focus on her debut record.
