Biography

Mon Laferte's path to music began at an early age. At nine years old, a school contest awarded her her first guitar, sparking a deep interest in songwriting. At thirteen, she earned a scholarship to study music at the Viña del Mar conservatory, though her inclination was always toward self-taught learning, which led her to play in local bars. In 2003, under the name Monserrat Bustamante, she participated in the talent show Rojo fama contrafama, which allowed her to release her first album, La chica de Rojo, achieving significant sales. However, in 2007, she felt the need for a change and moved to Mexico to continue her artistic development under the name Mon Laferte. Since then, she has released albums such as Desechable, Tornasol, Mon Laferte Vol.1, La Trenza, and Norma, solidifying her presence in Latin America and collaborating with various artists.
