Yami Safdie Stuck to Her Core Pop Sound & Became Argentina’s Breakout Star
The Argentine singer-songwriter is Billboard’s latest Latin Artist on the Rise.
In the past two years alone, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter from Argentina has become a go-to collaborator for artists like Camilo(“Querida Yo”), Lasso (“En Otra Vida”) and, most recently, Emilia (“+ Te Vale”), thanks to her soulful lyrics and pop-ballad sound paired with her delicate yet poignant vocals. It’s her stripped-down acoustic style that makes her stand out in a crowded field of emerging acts from her native Argentina, many of them learning urban. After her parents – who aren’t musicians themselves – noticed that Safdie was really into music (and Disney), they signed her up at a local school where she learned to sing, act, dance and perform theater at 9 years old.
