Mini bio
How it started.
Julieta grew up in Tijuana and began piano lessons at eight. Before making records under her own name, she played in the ska band Tijuana No! Moving to Mexico City gave her room to pursue a solo career, and her debut album Aquí arrived in 1997.
Songs fans grew up with.
Sí brought her a wider audience in 2003 with songs including “Andar Conmigo” and “Lento.” Limón y Sal followed in 2006, carrying “Me Voy” and “Eres para Mí” into her catalog. Her accordion became a familiar voice alongside her singing.
Still finding new ways to tell a story.
Her work stretches from the live arrangements of MTV Unplugged to “Lo Siento BB:/” with Tainy and Bad Bunny. Tu Historia won the 2023 Latin Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. In 2026, Norteña became both an album rooted in northern Mexico and a first memoir about the beginnings of her musical life.
