Natalia "Nathy" Peluso[3] (born 12 January 1995)[4] (Spanish: [ˌnati peˈluso]) is an Argentine-Spanish[5] singer, songwriter, dancer and pedagogue. Born in Argentina and raised in Spain, Peluso became interested in the performing arts at an early age, performing cover songs at musical bars in her teenage years.[6] After graduating King Juan Carlos University, Peluso relocated to Barcelona to pursue a professional career in music, with her first releases Esmeralda (2017) and La Sandunguera (2018) being confected independently.[7] Peluso slowly started to become recognized in Spain.[8] After signing Sony Music, she started working on her breakthrough album Calambre (2020) for which she won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2021.[9]

Distinguished for her theatrical personality onstage, and her fusion of hip hop, soul, and world music, Peluso's popularity expanded after collaborating with Bizarrap on "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 36" (2020), achieving commercial success and social media traction in Latin America.[10][11] She has also collaborated with Christina Aguilera, Karol G, and C. Tangana, with the latter one's duet "Ateo" debuting atop the Spanish charts.[12][13]

Peluso's artistry has been awarded six Premios Gardel, one Premio Odeón and two Latin Grammys out of eleven nominations, including Best New Artist, among many others.[14][15]

Early life

Peluso was born in 1995 in Luján, Argentina and was raised in the Saavedra neighbourhood in Buenos Aires. While growing up she listened to a variety of artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles, as well as artists such as João Gilberto, Ray Barretto or Atahualpa Yupanqui. She has Italian ancestry.[16]

In 2004, at 9 she emigrated to Spain with her family. She first resided in Alicante. At the age of 16, she began to perform at hotels and restaurants in Torrevieja, mainly performing classic songs by Frank Sinatra, Etta James or Nina Simone. As a teenager she began uploading versions to her YouTube channel. She moved to Murcia shortly after, where she entered the city's local university to study a degree in Audiovisual Communication. After leaving the degree program, she moved to Madrid to study Fine Arts at the King Juan Carlos University. She specialized in Pedagogy of Visual Arts and Dance.

In December 2019, Peluso signed a record deal with Sony Music Spain. Her first release as a signed artist was the independent single "Copa Glasé".

In 2020 she reached the attention of the general public and the mainstream audience after Operación Triunfo contestant Anaju sang "La Sandunguera" on prime time to keep participating in the show.[24] After that, Peluso was invited to the show on Women's Day to promote her new single "Business Woman", defined as a feminist anthem.[25] During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peluso released a musical collaboration with urbano artist Rels B titled "No Se Perdona", which had great commercial success. Another single "Buenos Aires" was released shortly after.[26] It received critical acclaim for its message and sound and scored a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Song.

Tangana on his song "Ateo" (which became Peluso's first number one single in Spain) and was featured on Christina Aguilera's "Pa Mis Muchachas" alongside Becky G and Nicki Nicole.[43][44] In December, Peluso reinterprated Camilo Sesto's "Vivir Así es Morir de Amor" to great commercial success.[45]
