Singer/songwriter Iván Cornejo has plenty of reasons to be excited about. His dreamy music – a sophisticated combination of sad sierreño roots and hazy, alternative-rock vibes – resonates with young listeners who identify with his bicultural sensibility, quiet demeanor and the need to let the songs speak for themselves. With over 2 billion combined streams, he is currently the second most consumed música mexicana artist in the U.S., and top 10 in the overall Latin market. In 2022, he was named new artist of the year at the Billboard Latin Music Awards. His first Rodeo Houston earlier this year broke records - performing in front of a sold-out 72,000 person audience, he headlined Sueños Chicago and has 26 upcoming dates this summer at arenas and amphitheaters across the US this summer. Ivan Cornejo reaffirms his connection with the soundscapes of música mexicana, on his third studio album MIRADA and it is no coincidence that it’s titled MIRADA. This poetic word – Spanish for gaze - underscores the California-born singer/songwriter’s Mexican roots, but also the soulful lyricism that permeates every single one of the session’s 12 tracks.
