Career
editJere Klein was born in Santiago de Chile in the Santa Anita village of the Lo Prado commune and from a young age expressed his interest in music and the urban genre. From the age of 14, he released only remixes of mambos and made appearances in music videos of the genre. In 2020 he collaborated with Bayriton, Dylan el Menor and Ortega de la M. on the single "Me la busqué".[1] That same year, together with his friend Jairo Vera and the musicians Bayriton and Lushito FlowMii, he worked on the song "Puesto para la Acción".[2]
After a dozen collaborations with various artists from the Chilean urban scene such as Drakomafia, Basty Corvalán and Yeinomercy, among others, in 2022 he achieved greater recognition with his song "Estoy volando alto", and became known through TikTok on which his song "Mándame tu ubi" was a trend, attracting attention for his voice and young age.[3]
In 2023, his EP 6.5 released with collaborations from various artists such as King Savagge. Jere Klein reached number one on the Spotify charts through 6.5 thanks to the song "Dos hielos".[4] In May of the same year he released the single "Una en un millón" and, later in June, he published the single "Mi bruja" with Drakomafia. On August 10, 2023 he performed alongside Argentine singer Nicki Nicole on the song "X ESO BB",[5] while on December 1 of the same year he released his first album titled Énfasis, where he released his song "Ando", passing 200 million views on YouTube. Énfasis featured collaborations such as Nickoog Clk, Cris MJ, El Bai, and Lucky Brown. Jere Klein performed a live presentation of Énfasis at the Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago,[6][7] and the album received more than three million views in a single day, becoming the best historical debut by a Chilean on the Spotify platform.[8]
He made an appearance on the Billboard Global 200 list with the song "Ando" in January 2024, which also appeared on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. list along with "Princesita De..." in February.[9]
Personal life
editOn December 22, 2022, Klein got into a fight with singer Jairo Vera prior to the start of the La Junta Awards. The video in which both appear beating each other went viral on social media, the reasons behind the conflict being unknown.[10]
In June 2023, Klein was detained by police after a vehicle stop by the Carabineros de Chile in which a 30-gram bag of marijuana was detected.[11] Due to being underage, Jere Klein was subject to the National Minor Service (SENAME) of Chile.[12]
