Nathy Peluso

Natalia Peluso, known professionally as Nathy Peluso, was born on January 12, 1995, in Luján, Buenos Aires, Argentina. She emigrated to Spain with her family at the age of nine in 2004, settling in Alicante. Peluso developed an early interest in performing arts, singing cover songs in bars and restaurants in Torrevieja during her teenage years, covering artists like Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Nina Simone. She later pursued fine arts at King Juan Carlos University, specializing in pedagogy of visual arts and dance. During her studies, she worked in hospitality and began exploring instant poetry, which led to her interest in hip-hop. She eventually relocated to Barcelona to focus on her music career.

Peluso independently released her seven-track mixtape, “Esmeralda,” in October 2017, featuring her debut single “Corashe.” This release garnered attention from music critics and independent music publications. In April 2018, she followed up with her EP “La Sandunguera” through Everlasting Records, with the title track and “Estoy Triste” released as singles. She subsequently embarked on an extensive tour with her band, Big Menu, performing over one hundred concerts across Spain, Europe, and Latin America, including appearances at festivals such as BBK Live, Sónar, and Festival Internacional de Benicàssim. Her early success was marked by nominations at the Independent Music Awards (MIN) for Song of the Year and Best Music Video for “La Sandunguera,” and she received the Discovery Artist award at the Latin Alternative Music Conference in New York City in 2019.

In December 2019, Peluso signed with Sony Music Spain. Her debut with the label was “Copa Glasé,” a Christmas song with big band jazz influences. Her profile rose significantly in 2020 after her song “La Sandunguera” was performed on the show “Operación Triunfo.” She released the feminist anthem “Business Woman” and collaborated with Rels B on “No Se Perdona,” which achieved commercial success. Her single “Buenos Aires” received critical acclaim and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Song. In September 2020, she released her debut studio album, “Calambre,” which reached number five on the PROMUSICAE album chart and commercially successful, peaking at number five on the Spanish album charts. Key collaborations followed, including “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 36” with Bizarrap in 2020, becoming a viral hit and reaching the top 5 on the Argentina Hot 100. In 2021, she collaborated with Karol G on “Gato Malo” and C. Tangana on “Ateo,” which became her first number-one single in Spain. She also featured on Christina Aguilera’s “Pa Mis Muchachas” alongside Becky G and Nicki Nicole. Her album “Calambre” won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2021.
