About Ivan Cornejo

Iván Cornejo (born June 5, 2004) is a Mexican-American singer-songwriter who has rapidly become one of the most prominent young voices in the regional Mexican music genre, specifically within the alternative-indie variant of corridos tumbados. Hailing from Riverside, California, Cornejo taught himself to play the guitar by watching YouTube tutorials and began writing songs after a middle school breakup, providing the raw, emotional authenticity that defines his sound. He rose to mainstream fame in 2021 when his single "Está Dañada" went viral on TikTok, propelling his debut album, Alma Vacía, onto the Billboard 200 chart and earning praise from The New York Times. Known for his heartfelt lyrics and melancholic style that appeals strongly to a Gen Z audience, he often tackles themes of heartbreak and vulnerability. Now signed to major labels, Cornejo continues to tour and release chart-topping music, cementing his place as a pioneer in modern Latin music.
