Mexican singer-songwriter and musician Julieta Venegas has signed with global talent agency WME, Billboard can exclusively announce. The partnership comes as Venegas prepares to release new music and strengthen her reach on the international stage.
“I’m really happy recording songs that will soon be part of my new album,” the Tijuana-born artist tells Billboard Español. “I’m excited to add people to my team who bring the kind of enthusiasm and experience that WME has, so we can work together to develop this new chapter.”
Over the course of her career, Venegas — who sings, writes, and plays the accordion and guitar — has had a significant presence on the Billboard charts, with four of her albums reaching the top 10 of Top Latin Albums. Those include 2006’s Limón y Sal, which peaked at No. 8, and both Otra Cosa (2010) and Algo Sucede (2015), which peaked at No. 5. On Hot Latin Songs, “Algo Esta Cambiando,” “Eres Para Mi,” and “Me Voy” reached Nos. 4, 5 and 9, respectively.
Venegas has collaborated with prominent artists such as Tainy, Bad Bunny, Sen Senra, Dom La Nena, No Te Va a Gustar and Grupo Marca Registrada. Her work with Tainy and Bad Bunny on “Lo Siento BB :/” — which earned the 2022 Latin Grammy for best reggaeton performance — reached the coveted Billboard Hot 100 at No. 51 and Hot Latin Songs at No. 2. To date, the two-time Grammy and 11-time Latin Grammy-winning artist has released eight studio albums, starting with the Gustavo Santaolalla-produced Aquí (1997) and including her most recent project, Tu Historia (2022).
Last year, Venegas performed for 90,000 fans in Mexico City’s Zócalo and for 85,000 at Madrid’s Bernabéu Stadium during The Evening of the Year. Throughout her career, she has graced the stages of major international festivals, including Mexico’s Vive Latino, Primavera Sound Buenos Aires and Picnic Festival Costa Rica. Her music has earned gold and platinum certifications in markets such as Mexico, Spain, the United States, Italy, Argentina and Brazil.
