Emilia Mernes has transitioned from lead singer of the group Rombai to a commercially successful solo artist, actress, and model. After rising to prominence in 2016 as the lead vocalist of the Uruguayan cumbia-pop band Rombai, Emilia Mernes performed her debut show at Estadio Luna Park within a week of joining. During her tenure with the group, Mernes released several successful singles, including ‘Cuando se Pone A Bailar,’ ‘Sentí el Sabor,’ ‘Una y Otra Vez,’ ‘Besarte,’ and ‘Que Rico Baila,’ touring extensively across Latin America. In 2018, Mernes departed Rombai to embark on a solo career, signing record deals with Sony Music Latin and Walter Kolm Entertainment in 2019.
This success was followed by her second studio album, ‘.MP3’, released in 2023, which reached number two in Argentina and included notable collaborations such as ‘No Se Ve’ with Ludmilla and ‘Perdonarte, ¿Para Qué?’ with Los Ángeles Azules. Most recently in 2024, Emilia Mernes has continued to expand her global reach, releasing new singles including ‘La Playlist.mpeg’ and ‘Novio Gangsta.’ She also collaborated on ‘Alegría’ with Tiago PZK and Anitta, ‘Carita Triste’ with Ana Mena, and ‘Tú y Yo’ with Khea. Mernes marked a significant career milestone with her first performance at the 25th Latin Grammys in 2024. Further diversifying her artistic portfolio, she was announced for a singing role in the upcoming animated film ‘Moana 2.’
