Life and career

edit

Galleguillos was born in Vicuña, Chile.[1] He began uploading his songs onto YouTube in 2022, using cars and Fairly OddParents-inspired characters as his cover art for his singles.[2] One of his friends showed one of Galleguillos' songs, "Pa la Europa", to producer Lewis Somes, who works for Chilean singer Pailita, and acknowledged it. The song later went viral and Galleguillos stated that he used little promotion for it.[3]

After releasing more singles, he released "Gata Only" in December 2023.[4] The song eventually attracted the attention of Chilean singer Cris MJ, who acknowledged it and wanted to be part of it.[5] After the "official" duet version of the song was released in February 2024, it garnered international prominence, landing on multiple song charts, and eventually reaching the top five on the Billboard Global 200 and topping the US Hot Latin Songs chart.[6][7][5]
