Meet Nathy Peluso, the Argentinian Genre-Bender Genius You Need to Watch

3 years ago

Between her flamenco-meets-trap music and her Lady Gaga-meets-Selena style, Nathy Peluso is an absolute genius at fusing artistic genres. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1995, Nathy Peluso moved to Spain when she was 9. The Latin Grammy nominee for best new artist and best alternative song started out on YouTube flexing her visual-art talent in music videos that got millions of views. With her newfound social media popularity, she independently released her seven-track extended play, Esmeralda.

After the success of her debut album, she got a second wave of success when a contestant on a popular music TV show in Spain sung the title track of her second LP, “La Sandunguera.” She then signed with Sony Music Spain and produced her most recent and celebrated album, Calambre.

Whether she’s balancing a bucket of mayonnaise on her head on Instagram or rapping over an accordion, Nathy Peluso is an artist who isn’t afraid to be bold. She’s not just one thing and that’s what her fans love about her the most: her intense, experimental attitude. Click through to discover why this exciting new artist is more than worthy of her Latin Grammy nominations.

Haute Mama

This Latina artist is excellent at experimenting with pushing herself into new and fun territories through her clothes, her music, and her sense of humour. She’s a bit like Lady Gaga in that way; her sense of style is a form of art in itself. This curvy queen can make thin pieces of gauze look hotter than garter belts. Just take a look at her newest album cover.

Her Big Break

In 2019, she signed with Sony Music Spain and published her first book, Deja Que te Combata, which currently enjoys a glowing 4.7 rating on Amazon. When a contestant on a popular Spanish television music competition sang her song “La Sandunguera” on prime-time TV, Nathy enjoyed a boost in popularity that helped bring attention to her next record.
