Biography

Valeria Castro Rodríguez (born April 28, 1999, in Los Llanos de Aridane, La Palma, Canary Islands) began her musical journey at age four at the Insular School of Music, later refining her songwriting while studying biotechnology in Madrid. She first gained recognition with her 2021 EP Chiquita—marked by the resonant single “Guerrera,” a tribute to her foremothers—which showcased her intimate yet powerful voice and earned early acclaim. In 2022, she earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Singer-Songwriter Song with “La Raíz,” written in the wake of La Palma’s volcanic eruption, and released her debut full-length Con cariño y con cuidado in 2023, a self-produced collection that critics named one of the year’s best and led to sold-out performances in major Spanish venues and appearances at festivals like Noches del Botánico. That album also featured collaborations with Vetusta Morla, Macaco, Tanxugueiras, Pedro Guerra, Silvana Estrada, and Silvia Pérez Cruz, reflecting her collaborative spirit and folk-pop instincts. On April 14, 2025, she released her introspective sophomore album El cuerpo después de todo, recorded in Mexico, which delves into themes of self-image and vulnerability and includes her first duet with Silvia Pérez Cruz. The album earned multiple awards, including seven nominations at the 2025 Premios de la Academia de Música, and was supported by a European and Latin American tour.
