Humbe

Humberto Rodríguez Terrazas, known professionally as Humbe, was born on November 11, 2000, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. He began his musical journey at nine, learning piano at his grandmother’s house in Chihuahua and later expanding his skills to include guitar, drums, and ukulele. His early talent propelled him into recording his debut album, “Sonámbulo,” in 2016, with producer Neto Gracia. This initial work laid the foundation for his career, leading to self-released music that quickly garnered attention.

Humbe gained significant visibility during the COVID-19 pandemic by sharing his music-making insights on TikTok. This digital presence contributed to his breakthrough, culminating in the release of his album “Entropía” in 2021. The album featured successful singles like “El Poeta” and “Te Conocí en Japón,” showcasing his ability to translate emotions into pop songs. His achievements in 2021 included winning Best New Artist at the MTV MIAW Awards and receiving a Latin Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. That same year, he signed with Sony Music Mexico, further solidifying his position in the industry.

Following his initial success, Humbe released “Aurora” in November 2021, an album entirely written and produced by him and his brother, Emiliano Rodríguez. In 2023, he released his fourth album, “Esencia,” which he described as his most personal work, exploring themes of personal construction and deconstruction. The album included the hit singles “Fantasmas” and “Te lo prometo.” “Fantasmas” became a viral phenomenon on TikTok, widely used in videos honoring Día de Muertos. To support “Esencia,” he embarked on a sold-out tour across Mexico, the Esencia Tour. In 2024, he departed from Sony Music Mexico and independently released his fifth album, “Armagedón,” continuing to produce introspective and experimental music. He has also collaborated on tracks such as “Patadas de Ahogado” with Latin Mafia and featured with Bruses on “Bestia.”
