She once fronted Easy Easy, one of Guatemala\u2019s popular alternative bands, succeeding former frontman Jesse Baez. Having lived in Berlin and New York, Insua\u2019s global exposure has infused her music with a unique and eclectic perspective. Since adopting her new moniker earlier this year, she has been releasing tracks that will be part of her upcoming EP, slated for February 2025, a project that she is both producing and crafting final touches on with Gabriel Dinero, a London-based fellow Guatemalan. Her music, featuring bilingual songs, intertwines supple bass riffs with her radiant melodic voice. The track \u201cNadie lo Sabe\u201d with Tita is a smooth R&amp;B jam, while \u201csee me 4 the first time\u201d combines drum and bass with glitchy, experimental and soulful elements. Additionally, opening up for the Spanish singer Ralphie Choo in New York has further cemented her presence in the music scene. \u2014 <em>ISABELA RAYGOZA<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Song For Your Playlist:<\/strong> \u201ctener t\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"aLex vs aLex - tener t  (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vd-mHb2Up1g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Artist: <\/strong>Andrez &amp; Yudy<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Country: <\/strong>Colombia, Cuba<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Why They Should Be On Your Radar:<\/strong> Andrez &amp; Yudy are a married couple \u2014 in life and in music \u2014 who I met in October during Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami.
