Nella has quickly skyrocketed to international renown, fueled by her powerhouse voice and undeniable presence. In a short time, the Venezuelan-born vocalist went from Berklee College of Music graduate to winner of the 2019 Latin GRAMMY Award for Best New Artist. That same year, her full-length debut, Voy (I Go), written and produced by Spanish producer and songwriter Javier Limón for Casa Limón Records, received acclaim from NPR and yielded the hit song “Me Llaman Nella (They Call Me Nella),” which surpassed 1.4 million Spotify streams and 1.4 million views on YouTube. The title track from the album was included at #14 on The New York Times’ “54 Best Songs of 2019” list, where it was described as “a lean, lilting song about picking up and moving into the unknown.”

In 2018, Nella was featured in Academy Award-winning director Asghar Farhadi’s film Everybody Knows, starring Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, in which she performed Limón’s song “Se Muere Por Volver” and other tracks written exclusively for the movie.

Nella’s second album, Doce Margaritas (Twelve Daisies), was released in 2021. The album earned three Latin GRAMMY nominations.

While touring the world, Nella has been working on her new album which is expected to be released in Spring 2024.
