About Nella

Born in Venezuela, Nella rapidly rose to international fame thanks to her powerful voice and undeniable presence. In a short period of time, she went from graduating from Berklee College of Music to winning the 2019 Latin GRAMMY® Award for Best New Artist. That same year, her full-length debut, Voy (I Go), produced by the award-winning Javier Limón for Casa Limón Records, garnered praise from NPR and featured the hit “Me Llaman Nella” (They Call Me Nella). The title track was named the 14th best song of 2019 by The New York Times, spanning all genres. 

Merging Venezuela’s folkloric roots, modern production elements , and inspiration from Andalusia, Nella’s music echoes globally. She has sold out venues across the United States, Venezuela, Mexico, Spain, and the UK, and has performed with renowned artists such as Alejandro Sanz, Luis Enrique, and Susana Baca. She has also collaborated with Jennifer López, Juan Luis Guerra, Carlos Vives, Monsieur Periné, and Los Amigos Invisibles. 

“En Otra Vida” is Nella’s third album, immersing listeners in a unique universe of talent with a distinct and delightful creative concept. Staying true to her original sound, Nella pays homage to the great women composers of Latin American music, offering new versions of classic songs and collaborating with artists, song-writers, who come together to celebrate Spanish-language composers.  

Acerca de Nella

Nacida en Venezuela, Nella se catapultó al reconocimiento internacional impulsada por su poderosa voz e indiscutible presencia. En poco tiempo, pasó de graduarse del Berklee College of Music a ganar el Latin GRAMMY® 2019 como Mejor Nuevo Artista. Ese mismo año, su debut de larga duración, Voy, producido por multipremiado compositor, productor y guitarrista Javier Limón para Casa Limón Music y distribuido mundialmente a través de The Orchard, recibió reconocimiento de NPR y produjo el éxito “Me Llaman Nella”.  

Además, la canción que da título al disco se colocó en el puesto #14 de las 54 mejores canciones del 2019 según The New York Times

Fusionando las raíces folclóricas de Venezuela, una producción moderna e inspiración andaluza; su sonido resuena en cada esquina del mundo. No solo ha abarrotado escenarios en los Estados Unidos, Venezuela, México, España y el Reino Unido; también ha colaborado con Alejandro Sanz, Juan Luis Guerra, Jennifer López, Carlos Vives, Luis Enrique, Susana Baca, Los Amigos Invisibles y Monsieur Periné. 

“En otra vida” supone el tercer álbum para la artista venezolana Nella, un trabajo que nos sumerge en un universo de talento muy particular y con un característico y delicioso concepto creativo. Fiel a su sonido original (aún si cabe ahora reforzado), Nella hace un homenaje a las grandes autoras de la música latinoamericana, versiones de grandes temas donde se rodea de artistas, mujeres que componen y se unen en esta celebración de las compositoras en español.
