    I was at a friends house for a party in Santo Domingo and I put on Your Teeth in My Neck, no one knew that song or who was singing but some said the voice sounded familiar. Then I played Telepatía, everyone started singing “ahhh esta es ella” and started playing her other Spanish songs. She definitely has the two language market on lock 🔒

    Ugh, I love her so much. I follow her since 2015, when KZread unexpectedly showed me her first single Melting and it had like 120 views at the time. It was love at first listen. I remember showing her music to all my friends and promoting her on social media. I wanted her so much to get famous so I could finally watch her live. AND I DID. I got to see her this year in Colombia and I couldn't be prouder of all that she's become. What an ICON.
