Emilia Mernes, known simply as Emilia, is a rising star in the Latin music world. She has quickly made a name for herself with her unique voice, magnetic presence, and catchy pop-reggaeton hits. However, her journey to fame is a story of talent, determination, and a deep love for music.

Emilia was born on October 29, 1996, in Nogoyá, a small town in Argentina, where her passion for music started at a young age. She was always drawn to singing and performing, often putting on impromptu shows for her family and friends. It’s interesting that Emilia doesn’t come from a family of musicians, like many artists, but from a family of bakers. She used to help her family sell bread.

Emilia once shared that her mother didn’t believe she would become ‘famous,’ but she kept following her dreams. Her first real step toward fame was when she participated–and won–a contest by ’47 Street’ looking for a model. Even back then, her musical talent and love for singing were already shining through.

During her studies, she decided to pursue a music career and moved to Buenos Aires to follow her dreams. Her big break came in 2016 when she joined the popular Uruguayan pop band Rombai as their lead singer. With Rombai, Emilia Mernes gained a lot of exposure, touring across Latin America and becoming a familiar face to fans of Latin pop. Her time with the band played a key role in shaping her musical style and stage presence.

Rise to Fame as a Solo Artist

In 2018, Emilia decided to go solo, and it turned out to be the right move. She released her debut single, ‘Recalienta,’ in 2019, which quickly became a hit and established her as a solo artist.

Emilia’s solo career took off as she continued to release hit after hit. Songs like ‘No Soy Yo’ featuring Darell, ‘Policía,’ and ‘Billion’ further solidified her place as one of the most promising new artists in the Latin music scene. Her music blends pop, reggaeton, and urban influences, creating a sound that’s fresh and instantly recognizable.

Besides her solo work, Emilia has also teamed up with other big names in Latin music, expanding her reach even more. Her duet with Argentine singer Duki, ‘Como Si No Importara,’ became a huge hit, showing her ability to cross musical genres and connect with a wide audience.

More Than Just a Singer

Emilia Mernes has become a cultural icon for a new generation of Latin music fans. Her songs often reflect themes of empowerment, love, and independence. Songs like ‘No_Se_Ve.mp3’ with Ludmilla and Zecca, ‘GTA.mp3,’ ‘Exclusive,’ ‘La_Original’ with Tini, and ‘IConic.mp3’ are some of the standout hits from her latest album, .MP3.

And that’s not even including the collaborations she released in between, like ‘Una Foto (Remix)’ with Nicki Nicole, Tiago PZK, and Mesita, as well as ‘Alegría,’ once again teaming up with Tiago and also Anitta. Emilia continues to demonstrate her versatility by working with artists like Los Ángeles Azules on ‘Perdonarte, ¿Para Qué?’

With millions of followers on social media and a growing list of achievements, Emilia is set for continued success in the music industry. Her rise to fame speaks to her talent, hard work, and the broad appeal of her music. Whether you’ve been a fan for a while or are just discovering her, Emilia’s journey is one of the most exciting stories in Latin pop today.
