History

Born and raised in Nogoyá, Entre Ríos. Emilia's devotion to music began when she was just 12-years-old and her grandfather gave her a guitar. Since then, creating melodies, strumming her guitar, singing and dancing have become her passions.[1] Like any girl, she studied in college. She had chosen Literature, but after 6 months she realized that this career was not her thing. So she went home and asked her parents that she wanted to study music at National University of Rosario. However, she never made it to her first class. In her spare time, she began to rehearse songs locked in the bathroom, because there were good acoustics. This is how she recorded her first cover and uploaded it to Instagram. From there, everything happened in fast motion. They asked her to do a casting in Buenos Aires, she traveled and got a place in the Rombai group. She replaced Rombai's former vocalist Camila Rajchman in 2016. Within a week, she was already doing her first show at Luna Park. Later, she left Rombai, became a soloist and went to live in Miami.[2]

Career

Before fame, she used to post song covers on social media before debuting as a singer with the band Rombai. In 2012, she modeled for the clothing brand 47 Street after winning a modeling contest. Emilia rose to fame in 2016 as lead singer of the cumbia-pop group Rombai.[3] From 2016 to 2018, the group performed on some of the most important stages of Latin America, until Emilia announced her departure from the group to focus on her solo career.[4]
