Angela Aguilar

Ángela Aguilar Álvarez was born on October 8, 2003, in Los Angeles, California, during her father’s tour. She is part of a prominent musical family known as “La Dinastía Aguilar,” with her father being Pepe Aguilar and her paternal grandparents being the acclaimed actors and singers Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre. From a young age, Aguilar frequently accompanied her father and brother, Leonardo Aguilar, on tours across Latin America. She holds dual citizenship with Mexico and the United States.

Aguilar began her career at nine years old, releasing the collaborative album _Nueva Tradición_ with her brother in 2012. In 2016, at 13, she participated in the BBC 100 Women festival in Mexico City, notably advocating for greater female representation in the music industry. In January 2018, she joined her family’s “Jaripeo Sin Fronteras” equestrian-musical tour. Her debut solo studio album, _Primero Soy Mexicana_, released on March 2, 2018, garnered critical acclaim and featured classic ranchera songs. This album earned her nominations for a Grammy Award and two Latin Grammy Awards, making her one of the youngest artists to achieve such recognition.

Her career continued to progress with significant milestones, including being named the Artistic and Cultural Ambassador of Zacatecas, Mexico, in 2019. In the same year, she released an English cover of “Shallow” with permission from Lady Gaga. She released a tribute EP to Selena, _Baila Esta Cumbia_, in 2020, followed by her second solo album, _Mexicana Enamorada_, in 2021. Aguilar has since taken on an executive producer role for her 2025 album, _Nadie Se Va Como Llegó_, demonstrating her increasing creative control and artistic independence.
