In just one year of career, Céro has emerged as one of the viral phenomena of its generation thanks to Lady MadrizZz. This Sevillian – nicknamed El Niño – released the song in September of last year and, in October, its success skyrocketed on platforms like TikTok, where users got hooked on the first verse: “it has a I don’t know what, what do I know I, who drives me crazy…”
As if that were not enough, this hit reached the ears of María Becerra, who did not hesitate to get together with this young promise to give it a second life with Lady MadrizZz remix. About the honor of having collaborated with La Nena from Argentina, the universe of her artistic project, her favorite artists and the rest of the plans she has for 2024our colleague and WECB Urban host Cintia León has talked at length.
Although the hit has especially stuck, it is not something that obsesses him. He knows that having good numbers in a song is no guarantee of anything, but that does not put pressure on his shoulders or take away his dream of continuing to work to build a long career in the industry. “I’m aware that the fact that a song works doesn’t mean anything and it hasn’t made me trust or believe that it can give you more. Really, I’m trying to take advantage of the opportunity of visibility and having toolslike going to school and not having to do lotto at home with more rudimentary equipment,” he explains.
At a compositional level, both Lady MadrizZz as Writing TKM They contain references to other emblematic (and classic) artists of our music, such as Pereza or 19 days and 500 nights. “When I was a child, my parents at home listened a lot to Sabina, Juanes, Rosana, Alejandro Sanz… All of them are influences that I have also had… Fito y Fitipaldis, El Canto del Loco, things that you indirectly start writing and they come to you by themselves“, he highlights, pointing out that they are “references” that allow the public to get to know him better and a way to show his tastes.
Praise for María Becerra
“We had María Becerra in mind (for the featuring), we liked her a lot, we contacted her team, she liked the idea and they went ahead. Everything was super comfortable and super natural. I talked to her producer about the idea we had, he He gave it a spin because it was a delicate song that only had guitar and the elements that were included had to be very well selected. And we are very happy with the result,” he explains about the remix of what is his greatest success.
“That someone as great as her, take the step and open up to doing a song with a kid from Seville no… it has an impact, but for a song, which is not yet a big artist… it says a lot about it and I am very grateful,” comments El Niño about the generosity of the singer of Automatic.
