Paloma Mami, the dynamic Chilean-American singer-songwriter, burst onto the music scene in 2018, carving her niche with a fusion of Latin R&B and urbano influences. Born as Paloma Castillo, she embarked on her musical journey by participating in the inaugural season of the Chilean talent show, “Rojo, el color del talento,” on Televisión Nacional de Chile in 2018.
However, her independent spirit led her to leave the competition after just two appearances, citing contractual concerns. Undeterred, Paloma Mami released her debut single “Not Steady” in June 2018, accompanied by a captivating music video. The track, written by Paloma Mami and Lesz, showcased a seamless blend of dancehall, trap, soul, and R&B, setting the stage for her distinctive sound.
In September 2018, Paloma Mami made waves as the opening act for Arcángel at Teatro Caupolicán, marking a significant milestone in her burgeoning career. The following month, she signed a deal with Sony Music Latin, becoming the first Chilean artist to join the prestigious label.
Paloma’s debut studio album, “Sueños de Dalí,” released in March 2021, further solidified her position as a rising star. With a musical style that incorporates elements of pop and trap, she draws inspiration from a diverse array of artists such as Bad Bunny, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Aaliyah, and Ella Fitzgerald. Paloma Mami’s unique blend of genres and heartfelt lyrics continues to captivate audiences worldwide, marking her as a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene.
