About Becky G:
Becky G is a multi-platinum, global powerhouse—an international recording artist, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, and activist who has cemented her status as one of the most influential figures of her generation. With over 28 billion career streams worldwide, the five-time Latin GRAMMY nominee has claimed numerous prestigious awards, including American Music Awards, Latin Music Awards, E! People's Choice Awards, and a Billboard Award. Her versatility shines both on stage and screen, with standout roles such as the lead in the iconic "Power Rangers," a guest appearance on FOX's Emmy-winning "Empire," and her voice acting as Khaji-Da in "Blue Beetle," DC's groundbreaking live-action film featuring a Latin superhero.

In 2024, Becky captivated global audiences with a stunning performance of her Oscar-nominated song, "The Fire Inside," at the Academy Awards. Beyond her artistic achievements, Becky G is a committed advocate for social change, using her platform to address inequality and raise awareness on critical issues. In partnership with Vita Coco, she recently opened up a greenspace in her school back in Inglewood as a way to give back to the community. Her activism has earned her significant recognition, including the "Impact Award" at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music Awards and being honored as one of the "Leading Ladies of Entertainment" by the Latin Recording Academy.

Her album, ESQUINAS, reflects her deep Mexican-American heritage, blending cultural authenticity with her signature sound. With over 987 million streams, it secured the #3 spot on the Regional Mexican Albums chart and broke into the top 10 on the Top Latin Albums chart, solidifying its place as a landmark release. Her global hit "Por El Contrario" has reached #1 on the Regional Mexican Billboard Charts and has been nominated for a Latin GRAMMY. Her upcoming album Encuentros will be out Oct 10th.

About Xavi:
Representing a wave of artists in the Música Mexicana world, 20-year-old singer/songwriter Xavi arrives with a refreshing sound that reflects the different cultures in which he grew up — including R&B, pop and urban, all blended with Música Mexicana sounds. He had an incredible start to the new year, bagging the #1 song on Spotify's Global 200 chart for his hit single "La Diabla" for three consecutive weeks. Having amassed over 200 million streams globally, the song has also topped the Latin Airplay radio charts this week and has been charting on Billboard's Hot 100. He is the first Mexican-American artist to achieve the top spot for a solo song and has broken the record as the only Mexican-American artist to have two solo efforts ("La Diabla" and "La Victima") chart on Spotify's Global Top 10. Xavi's "La Diabla" is now the longest running #1 Latin solo song in global Spotify chart history, surpassing Bad Bunny "MONACO".

After releasing music independently, the Phoenix, AZ artist caught the attention of Interscope's executives, who discovered him through social media and the rest is history. Alongside the U.S chart positioning, Xavi rose to #1 position on Latin and Mexican radio charts for "La Diabla" in January and has been heralded by publications like Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR and more "one of the most promising artists in Música Mexicana" (Rolling Stone). In April, he embarked on his debut headlining tour playing twenty-six shows across the United States, Mexico City, and Guadalajara, selling over 45,000 tickets. The debut headlining tour was a massive success for the young artist who also brought his electric live show to Sueños Music Festival in Chicago, IL for one of his first festival performances. And now with his newly announced debut album, NEXT, Xavi is here to showcase excellence in storytelling and a magnetic performance style to continue pushing the corridos genre forward.
