On April 23, 2000, one of the prominent figures in the genre (corridos tumbados) that has taken the music industry by storm was born. Antonio Herrera Pérez, known as Junior H, was born in Guanajuato, Mexico. From a young age, the artist was drawn to music. During his high school years, he worked as a cook in a fast-food restaurant while pursuing his passion for music. Determined to learn, he taught himself to play the accordion and guitar through online tutorials. In his free time, he wrote lyrics and privately recorded his compositions, perfecting his skills. 

In 2019, Junior H made his debut in the music scene with his first album, Mi Vida en un Cigarro (My Life in a Cigarette). This release featured his hit song, «No He Cambiado» (I Haven’t Changed), which garnered over 2 million views and received much support. His undeniable talent caught the attention of the renowned record label Rancho Humilde, propelling him into the spotlight of the music industry.

In fact, his record label was one of the first to celebrate the talented artist’s birthday, inviting everyone to send their best wishes to the singer.

Actually, after finishing a concert in his home country, he was surprised with a cake and the traditional birthday song ‘Las Mañanitas’ performed in a banda style.

His fans were all set for the occasion and had the image ready to wish the singer a happy birthday. In several fan groups dedicated to the singer, they even changed their profile picture to celebrate his birthday.

As proud fans, many of them have shared a photo that the singer once posted on his stories, which has become a favorite to his parents but also among his fans: when he was a toddler.

Another notable greeting came from an account called ‘Dance Greetings,’ which gained popularity on TikTok for allowing users to request a specific song and dance to congratulate someone. In this case, Junior H.

And naturally, many of his fans also thanked him for his music style and lyrics, which, like his latest album suggests in $ad Boyz 4 Life II, are nostalgic or touch on somewhat sad themes.

We at LOS40 USA also join in congratulating this talented artist, hoping he celebrates many more birthdays and that his dreams keep coming true.
