Carol McCloskey

Vocalist born in Ireland, but resident in Valencia (Spain). Member of Double Vision Born in London “during flower power ” and raised in Ireland, Carol McCloskey arrived in Valencia in 1979 after marrying a Spaniard whom she had met at the well-known The Apartment nightclub in Dublin. “When I arrived in Valencia I fell madly in love with the people, the food… and the party.” She arrived and never thought about leaving. Not even when, 16 years later in 1995, she was showered with offers in Europe to make her a multi-millionaire pop star. “I'm not a fool, and I knew that this type of treatment turns you into a slave for life.” Her connection with music began in adolescence. At 15 she was part of a group of six girls who played soul and rock and roll covers. “We were like the Dublin Spice Girls, but in a fetus version (laughs). We won some awards and everything.” Years after arriving in Spain she formed a group called Toxic that alternated versions of groups like The Pretenders and others composed by her. “One night, in the early nineties, Pedro Cerveró saw me perform in a bar in Valencia and asked me if I would be interested in making dance music with him. I, who am one of those who sign up for a bombing, said: of course!"
