BIOGRAPHY Quezada was born in Santo Domingo , the daughter of two Cibao naturals and the sister of four musician brothers. Growing in this family, Quezada became interested in music since she was a toddler; she would sing along with her brothers for family, friends and small crowd gatherings close to her home. Quezada expressed an interest in developing her singing talents as a young girl, and, in part because of that, her family moved to New York City when she was still a kid. Quezada spent her pre-teen and Teenage years in New York, a city that is well known as a school for future Merengue and Salsa singers around its Latino Barrio s. In New York, Quezada developed an in-depth knowledge for her favotrite music genre. After graduating from High School there, she attended New York City College , from where she graduated with a University degree in communications. During the 1980s , Quezada was the leading singer of a group named '' Milly Y Los Vecinos ''. The group enjoyed wild international success, producing 20 records, of which some were released both in Vinyl and CD format; others only as CD's, because the vinyl album technology practically fell out of use by the end of the decade. Quezada then decided to embark on a solo career, moving to Puerto Rico and getting Married there. She became a mother, and enjoyed more success as a solo singer. Since the decade of the 1990s , Quezada has been on tour or on studios constantly, and she has earned numerous awards and privileges, including the key to some cities (see below). On May of 2005 , she had a Dominican Republic tour that included one concert with the famed Conjunto Quisqueya .

As a solo singer Quezada has recorded five solo albums, receiving a Latin Grammy for ''Pienso asi''.
