Gabito Ballesteros

Born and raised in Sonora, Mexico, Gabito Ballesteros learned how to play the guitar and discovered his passion for singing at 10 years old when he joined the children’s mariachi at his local church. By age 15, he started sharing videos of himself singing on YouTube and in 2015, he released his first song “Yo Quiero Ser” with La Destructiva Norteño Banda. Ballesteros rose to prominence in 2020 with his single “El Rompecabezas” with Aldo Trujillo followed by “El Chaman” and “El Sereno,” among others. This year, he collaborated with Mexican superstars Natanael Cano and Peso Pluma on the smash hit “AMG,” which marked his first-ever Billboard chart entry peaking at No. 6 on the Hot Latin Songs chart – it also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. He’s been recognized with various accolades, including two Latin Grammy nominations in 2020 for Best Urban Music Album and Best Urban Song.
