Mexican influencer and singer Yeri Mua has signed a contract with Sony Music Mexico to record her first album. The signing was announced exclusively by Billboard Españolcomes after Mua released four songs in the last year that placed her among the most influential urban artists of the moment.
Formerly known for her fashion, lifestyle and makeup content, Mua rose to prominence as a musician after releasing the track 'Chupón' in 2023, on which she appeared with El Gudi, Jey F, Alan Dazmel and Oviña.
“I was never afraid of the cameras. it was very important to move from that content to the music. Since I was a child, I wanted to be an artist,” says the outrageous and extroverted neoperreo singer, who in recent months has also collaborated with stars such as Kenia Os and Uzielito Mix.
“I have a lot of ideas for the album,” continues Mua (real name Yeri Cruz Varela). “I needed someone to tell me that all my crazy ideas can come true. I love music and I will never be simple. not with my clothes or the way I'm made up. I'm that type of artist who even works with lighting.”
Mua says that while she received other offers, Sony met all of her expectations.
“I want Mexican perreo and reggaetón to level up,” he says. “To see the change, an evolution with high quality material. I will be doing many more collaborations with artists I admire as part of this new stage of my career. With my new home, Sony, we're going to do really cool things.”
According to a press release, Mua's solo music and collaborations have garnered more than 600 million streams. In addition, she has 11 million followers on Facebook and more than 12 million views on TikTok.
