Carin León

Originally from Hermosillo, located in the center of the northwestern Mexican state of Sonora, León was raised in a family where music was always present. León embarked on his musical journey at the age of 15, taking his first steps by learning to play the guitar and developing skills in singing and songwriting. In 2018, León released his debut album, “Desvelada con Banda y Mariachi”, which propelled him to quickly dominate the Regional Mexican music scene as a performer, singer and songwriter.

From there, León collaborated with internationally renowned artists such as the Spanish rapper C. Tangana on the song “¡CAMBIA!,” the Mexican pop group Matisse on “Como Lo Hice Yo” and and the Colombian reggaeton artist Maluma on "Según Quién" as well as writing hits for various Regional Mexican stars like Los Plebes del Rancho and El Fantasma.

In 2021, León became the first Regional Mexican artist to participate in the Spotify Singles series and he teamed up with country music star Walker Hayes for a Spanglish version of “Fancy Like” for Amazon Music Latin’s “La Cultura That Connects Us” campaign. In 2023, his album “Colmillo de Leche” debuted atop the music charts and was named one of Billboard’s “50 Best Albums of 2023” and #3 on Rolling Stone's “Spanish-speaking albums that made an impact in 2023” list.

Throughout his young career León has received countless nominations and multiple awards, including two Latin Grammys, one for “Best Norteño Album” in 2023 for his album “Colmillo de Leche” and “Best Regional Mexican Song” in 2022 for the song “Como lo Hice Yo”. In addition, León won an ASCAP Award for the song “Me La Aventé” as well as numerous Premio Lo Nuestro Awards (“Regional Mexican Breakthrough Artist,” “Best Male Artist” and “Banda Song of the Year”).
