María Emilia Mernes Rueda, known professionally as Emilia Mernes, was born on October 29, 1996, in Nogoyá, Argentina. Her musical journey began at the age of 12 when her grandfather gave her a guitar, sparking a passion for creating melodies, singing, and dancing. Initially, Emilia did not come from a musical family; her family operated a bakery, where she assisted in selling products. She completed her secondary education at Colegio del Huerto in Nogoyá. In 2016, she briefly pursued Literature at the National University of Rosario but soon realized her true calling was music. She returned home, dedicated herself to rehearsing songs, and began sharing covers on her Instagram account.
Emilia rose to prominence in 2016 as the lead vocalist of the Uruguayan cumbia-pop band Rombai, replacing Camila Rajchman. Within a week of joining, she performed her first show at the Estadio Luna Park. Alongside Fer Vázquez, she released singles such as “Cuando se Pone A Bailar,” “Sentí el Sabor,” “Una y Otra Vez,” “Besarte,” and “Que Rico Baila.” Her tenure with Rombai provided significant exposure, leading to tours across Latin America. In 2018, Emilia decided to leave the group to focus on a solo career, marking a significant turning point.
In 2019, Emilia signed record deals with Sony Music Latin and Walter Kolm Entertainment. Her debut solo single, “Recalienta,” released in 2019, quickly gained traction, peaking at number 68 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100. Subsequent releases like “No Soy Yo” (featuring Darell), “Policía,” and “Billion” further established her as an emerging artist in the Latin music scene. Her solo work blends pop, reggaeton, and urban influences, resulting in a distinctive sound. She has continued to achieve commercial success with her albums, ‘Tú Crees en Mí?’ (2022) and ‘.MP3’ (2023), with the latter reaching number two in Argentina and featuring chart-topping singles. Emilia has also ventured into acting, appearing as Sofia Lasso in the TV series “Intertwined” (2021), and as a coach in “La Voz: El Regreso” (2021) and “La Voz Argentina 3” (2021).
