Miami-based singer and songwriter, Ingrid Casares has accumulated wealth to the tune of $6 million. She made her wealth by coming up with a band of her own, Skyfish, and also during the time when she worked with Ova Band. She has also made money through poetry, singing and writing songs. Ingrid Casares was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

She was tossed to the international scene in late 80’s, and by 1991, she was already on gossip pages, going by then as the real "Gal Pal". This nickname was given to her together with her friends Madonna, Sandra Bernhard and K.D. Lang.

Since that time, tabloids and magazines have continued to feature her in their issues so much so that her face has become instantly recognizable. In most cases, she is seen sitting beside Madonna, either at a basketball game or a fashion show.
