Iván Cornejo (born June 5, 2004), is a Mexican American singer-songwriter in the regional Mexican genre. Born in Riverside, California, Cornejo endured a breakup in middle school that provided inspiration for songwriting.
He taught himself how to play the guitar by watching tutorials on YouTube. The first song he learned was Ritchie Valens' version of "La Bamba".[1] His earliest music inspirations include T3R Elemento and Grupo Los de la O.
Career
Cornejo's debut album Alma Vacía peaked at number two on the US Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart and number seven on the Top Latin Albums chart.[1] The album sold 7,000 album-equivalent units and peaked at number 156 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album remained in the top ten of the Regional Mexican Albums chart for 35 weeks.[2] His songwriting credits enabled him to peak atop the Billboard Latin Songwriters chart in the week ending October 30, 2021.[1] Alma Vacía was named as one of the best albums of 2021 by The New York Times.[3] The single "Está Dañada", went viral on TikTok in September 2021. It peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the second regional Mexican song to chart on the Hot 100. Billboard magazine included Cornejo in their Artist on the Rise column in October 2021.[1]
His second studio album Dañado, debuted and peaked at number one on the Regional Mexican Albums chart in the week ending June 18, 2022.
