Gonzalo Genek is the stage name of Gonzalo Urresti Araujo, a Peruvian rapper, singer, and songwriter whose career charts a rise from early indie singles to broader Latin collabs and festival stages. Born in Lima on May 29, 1992, he introduced himself with tracks like âEllaâ (2013) and moved into long-form with his debut album Licor Amor & Jazz (2015), showcasing melodic rap and R&B-leaning hooks on cuts such as âNo Puedo.â Over the next few years he alternated solo releases and featuresâamong them âLa Primera Vez,â âA Veces,â and âNos Vamosâ in 2020âgradually expanding his footprint on digital platforms. A pivot came with his independently released second album No Deal, No Drama (2023), which added fan favorites like âEsa Gataâ and tightened his blend of pop sensibility and confessional lyricism. In 2025, Gonzalo Genek stepped up output and visibility: he issued the third album Sabes aquà la música no frena on April 25, a 15-track set that moves through reggaetón, salsa, lo-fi hip-hop, afrobeats, and electro-house, and supported it with a video cycle that included âX un besito,â featuring actor Carlos CarlÃn. The same year he rolled out singles such as âLentes Black,â âUna Mejor Que Tú,â âOtra Nota,â and the reggaetón-tinted âMétele Bellako,â and capped the run with the collaborative âTrato de Olvidarteâ with Micro TDH and Lui5.
