With a warm, soulful sound, the Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated artist Moreno creates music that offers an invitation into her musical world for English and Spanish speakers alike. 

Since moving to Los Angeles from her native Guatemala, Moreno has released nine albums, received her first Grammy award in 2024 for her project “X Mí (Vol. 1)” (Best Latin Pop Album, 2024); earned Grammy nominations for her albums “Alegoría” (Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album, 2023) and “Illusion” (Best Latin Pop Album, 2017); and has won two Latin Grammy Awards (Best New Artist, 2013 and Best Traditional Tropical Album, 2023).

Moreno has shared the international stage with pop music stars Bono, Andrea Boccelli, Tracy Chapman, Ani DiFranco, Punch Brothers, Hugh Laurie, Buena Vista Social Club, Calexico, and David Gray. 

“Through her projects, Moreno has redefined Americana as the most prominent Latina in the genre today, opening the doors for other marginalized voices and transforming the landscape overall,” ¡Viva el Arte de Santa Bárbara! said.
