The Club mixes were produced by the most famous DJs and House producers in Spain - David Ferrero, Wally Lopez, Pedro Del Moral and Dr Kucho, who according to the same DJ Magazine article, were “the entire Spanish ‘A’ list” and who still dominate the Spanish club scene.

Theatrical involvement

Carrión has starred in various musicals including "Pippi Calzaslargas" in 2000, at the Teatro de Madrid, and “We Will Rock You” (a show inspired by rock group Queen) at the Teatro Calderón (Madrid) in 2003-4 where she played the role of Teen Queen (Meatloaf). Due to her prodigious talent, she was elected by Brian May to interpret, the famous Brian May ballad “No One But You (Only The Good Die Young)”, as a soloist, obtaining excellent artistic criticism by the Spanish music press. She appears on the Spanish theatrical soundtrack (double CD) of the musical.

Television and movie work

The voice of numerous movie soundtracks, Carrión has conducted voice-overs for advertising commercials including Santander Central Hispano, Caser Seguros, Canal Isabel II, Ikea, Orange, Jazztel and La Resistencia: El Musical - the campaign against cervical cancer, all aired on national networks.

In television, she has performed cover songs and theme tunes, and performed as a soloist, in a group, and as a chorus girl for other artists. She has been the principal singer with the orchestra for the programme series “A La Carta” broadcast on Antena 3, and has also acted in film shoots for publicity films, promotional films and short films.

Guest appearances

In 2004, parallel to her on-going theatrical work, she appeared for 1 year in the TV programme "Agustín Bravo" (Antenna 3). Later, in 2005, Carrion appeared in "Gente De Primera", a Spanish reality TV programme on TVE, where celebrities take a member of the public and transform them into pop stars, alongside guests Marta Sanchez, David Civera and Pastora Soler.

Carrión has also recorded as a chorus girl for diverse artists such as Marc Antoine on his 2005 album “Modern Times” (Rendezvous Entertainment), with Mexican singer, Raphael, as a soprano soloist on his 2005 Mexican tour, for Pablo Moro (Carlito Records), and in 2005, performing as a chorus girl in the children’s programme “Brunelesky” (Tele5), appearing on the CD of the show.

Pop development

In 2006, Naymi's spectacular pop-dance rendition of ABBA’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” (Blanco y Negro, Spain, and Mas Label, Mexico), also produced by David Ferrero, was released with group Mito, and like “Friday Night Forever”, was well-received on the radio airwaves.

Later in 2006, she appeared as a main character in the series “L´Alqueria Blanca” (Canal 9, Valencia), for production company, Zenit TV. She also starred as a solo singer in the 2006 musical spectacle “On Broadway” for production company Cie Stage Holdings.

Stage development

In 2006 and 2007, Carrión performed as a singer with La Gran Orquesta Santiago, and in 2007, at the esteemed Circo Price theatre (Madrid), in the musical spectacle “Charivari” directed by Rob Tannion. At this time, she also taught popular music composition at the Marand School Of Music, Madrid.

Rock launch

Since 2007, Carrión became the force behind Nieva (meaning Snows), a commercial Rock Español group which she formed in 2004 with Antonio Escobar (a composer & producer since the early 1990s)). With their dark but vibrant, epic sound, Nieva took an innovative step beyond Spanish pop rock. Later in 2007, Nieva released “Sed De Mar” (Antipop) and toured the cities of Spain before recording songs for their first album.

New developments

In 2009, she performed as a singer at the Reina Victoria theatre in Madrid for the musical spectacle “Historia Del Pop Español: 50 años de antología del pop en España”, directed by Héctor Oliveira, featuring on the theatre placard and starring on the show tour.

Also, in 2009 French techno DJ, Ovejito Lindo, produced a bootleg mashup “Moi Lolita versus Gimme”, as Alizée vs Mito & Naymi. Famed British music magazine NME, featured the production in the NME awards 2009 section of their website.

In 2009-10, digital Italian label, Wondermark s.r.l., released the pop samba track “Rio de Janeiro” by group Sugar Reef, featuring Naymi, which was distributed in digital stores including: iTunes, Real Networks Inc, eMusic, Nokia/OD2, Jamba with Fox Mobile Entertainment, Jamster!, ZED (Italy), H3G (UK, Italy), Verizon (USA, Canada), Sprint (USA, Canada) and Bell (Canada). The song was arranged, produced and mixed by veteran music producer Tom East (Fobian, Julie Aagaard, Charlotte Roel, DJ Alligator, James Sampson, Mizz Maya, Vienna, Eden, Nouveau Sisters, Russian Heat). With vocals engineered by David Ferrero, the production is based on the 1990s chart and MTV hit “Rio” by Danish pop group Bluebeat (Virgin Records), which was also produced by East.

At Nieva’s Myspace page, Carrión's biography states that she continues to dedicate her life completely to music - “dedicando por completo su vida a la música”.

Trivia

After Naymi’s release of “Friday Night Forever”, the song was covered by Dutch pop star Sonny O’Brien in 2003.

An industry promo CD of “Friday Night Forever” featured another Naymi song called “Superwoman” also written by Ernerot & Lund, and also later covered by Sonny O'Brien in 2005.

In 2002-3, Naymi recorded an album for Sony, also produced by David Ferrero, which due to changes within Sony Europe, was not released.

“Rio de Janeiro” (Spanish version) was co-written by the same team who wrote “Siente La Vida” which appeared on Naymi’s unreleased album.
