Early life
editMoreno was born in Zaragoza on 29 April 1997 and grew up in the nearby municipality of Pastriz, where her family is from; she is the eldest of six siblings. Naiara had been a singer of the Aragonese orchestra Nueva Alaska until she auditioned for Operación Triunfo in 2023.[2][3]
Musical career
editMoreno participated in Cántame una canción, a contest that aired in 2010.[4] Her professional career in music began as a singer with the Nueva Alaska orchestra, performing in different municipalities and cities across Spain, especially in Aragon.[2][3]
On 6 July 2023, Naiara appeared at the Operación Triunfo casting in Zaragoza. She was selected as a contestant, managing to pass the different casting phases until reaching Gala 0, where she performed for the first time in Operación Triunfo on 20 November 2023 by singing «Me Muero» (La Quinta Estación). During her time on the program, she was the favorite nominee of the Operación Triunfo audience on three occasions, and achieved special success in Zaragoza[5] by singing jotas during her time and giving visibility to Aragón.[6]
On 5 February 2024, Naiara became a finalist for Operación Triunfo thanks to the score given by the jury, and on 19 February she was proclaimed the winner with the song Sobreviviré by Mónica Naranjo, with 49% of the votes.[7][8]
Naiara released her single "Enlokiá" exclusively on Amazon Music and was available on all platforms from 19 April 2024, along with the video clip. It is an urban theme with electronic overtones.[9]
"La gravedad" was released on 7 May 2024, a song composed and performed by the finalists of Operación Triunfo 2023 to represent Spain at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.[10] Later that year, Moreno released «Tienes que saber» on 18 July 2024, a collaboration with Abraham Mateo.[11]
