Career

Reyes was born in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey, Nuevo León, and started singing and playing piano when she was ten.[1] She began uploading videos of herself covering songs on YouTube two years later. Her videos managed to capture the interest of many, including Latin American singer Prince Royce, who went on to sign Reyes with his then newly created music label D'León Records at the age of 12. As the first ever singer to be signed to the label which Royce created in partnership with Warner Music Latina in order to "support other young talent in their development", Reyes launched her debut single "Now Forever", featuring American rapper Khleo Thomas in 2013.[2]
