JUNKERE | Official Electronic Press Kit 2024

Cuban-Argentine artist Junkere is revolutionizing the urban music landscape with his unique fusion of Latin pop, Trap, Drill and Reggaeton. From his humble beginnings as a freestyle rapper in Buenos Aires to becoming an international independent artist based in Spain, Junkere's decade-long journey in music exemplifies resilience and creative innovation.

Born in Havana and raised in Buenos Aires, Junkere first made waves in the Argentine hip-hop scene under the name Junco MC with his crew "Resistencia Aborigen." His distinctive blend of Havana and Porteño accents, coupled with socially conscious lyrics reflecting his immigrant experience, caught the attention of national media, leading to features in La Nación newspaper and on national radio.

In 2019, Junkere evolved his sound toward Latin Trap and urban pop, forming the duo Kongrí with Cuban singer Alejandro Senén. Their collaboration with notable musicians like Juampi Francisconi and producer Martin Longoni resulted in several successful singles. By late 2021, Junkere embarked on his solo journey, releasing "No Me Importa" under his current moniker – a playful nod to his maternal surname, Junco.

The artist's 2023 EP "Medrando" showcased his versatility, featuring four Drill-influenced tracks focused on themes of freedom and empowerment. His subsequent releases, including the Detroit-style trap single "Break Your F** Neck" and the viral hit "Tremendo Pan," further cemented his reputation for musical innovation and lyrical prowess.

Now, Junkere presents his most ambitious project to date: "IN MY LIVING ROOM." True to its name, this album was entirely produced in his home studio, breaking physical and creative barriers to deliver international-quality independent music. More than just a collection of songs, it stands as a testament to Junkere's DIY ethos and artistic authenticity. The album explores personal growth, love, and betrayal through an optimistic lens, showcasing Junkere's ability to transform intimate experiences into universal connections.

A manga enthusiast, foodie, and sports lover, Junkere attributes his creative versatility to maintaining his inner child – an approach that allows him to playfully experiment with different rhythms while addressing profound themes. His music continues to resonate with fans (whom he affectionately calls "Gente Linda") by combining catchy beats with heartfelt lyrics, proving that passion and creativity know no bounds.
