    About

    Camilo Echeverri Correa, a Colombian singer, songwriter, and record producer, has become one of Latin pop's most beloved voices. With six Latin Grammy wins and three Grammy nominations, he blends heartfelt lyrics with warm, treble vocals, creating music that resonates deeply with fans across the globe. His hits like "Tutu," "Vida de Rico," and "Una Vida Pasada" have dominated charts and playlists, while his songwriting credits for artists like Becky G and Natti Natasha have shaped the sound of modern Latin music.

    Today, Camilo is a family man at heart, frequently collaborating with his wife, Evaluna Montaner, and sharing their life with millions of followers. His "La Tribu" community is a testament to the genuine connection he builds through his art. As of 2026, he continues to tour worldwide and release new music, solidifying his place as a leading figure in contemporary Latin pop.

    Early Life & Background

    Born in Medellín, Colombia, Camilo grew up surrounded by music. His father, Miguel Echeverri, played in local bands, and his mother, Liliana Correa, had sung in her youth. That household soundtrack shaped everything. As a kid, he'd watch his dad rehearse and started writing songs before his teens, drawn to pop and Latin rhythms.

    In 2007, at just 13, Camilo auditioned for the Colombian talent show Factor XS and won, a moment that changed his trajectory. The victory launched his professional career the following year, though the spotlight didn't immediately translate into stardom. He released his debut album Tráfico in 2012 under the name Camilo Echeverry, but it didn't take off. Undeterred, he pivoted to songwriting, spending the next several years honing his craft behind the scenes. That period, writing for other artists and absorbing the industry's rhythms, became his real education, setting the stage for the breakthrough that would come later.

    Career Growth

    The turning point arrived in 2019 with "Tutu," a duet with Pedro Capó that became an international smash. A remix featuring Shakira pushed it even further, and suddenly Camilo was no longer just a songwriter, he was the face of a new wave of Latin pop. His debut album Por Primera Vez followed in 2020, earning his first Latin Grammy for Best Pop Song.

    From there, the momentum never stopped. Mis Manos (2021) won Best Singer-Songwriter Album, and De Adentro Pa Afuera (2022) repeated the feat. Collaborations with Carin Leon on "Una Vida Pasada," Rauw Alejandro on "Tattoo Remix," and Karol G on "CONTIGO VOY A MUERTE" expanded his reach across genres. His 2023 album Un Mandato del Cielo and a steady stream of singles kept him at the forefront. By 2026, he's launched a global tour and continues to release new music, including tracks like "Misión Imposible" and "Autodiagnóstico," proving his staying power.
