About LUCÍA
LUCÍA is a 23-year-old vocalist from Veracruz, México whose singular artistic vision bridges the gaps between Jazz, Latin, and Pop music.

Lucía Gutierrez Rebolloso started her musical career at the age of two, singing and dancing in her parent's son jarocho band, “Son de Madera.” She began studying voice at the age of 13 at Universidad Veracruzana, and in 2022 received a bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies from this same university.

In 2022, she became the first artist from Mexico to enter the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, which she won.

Lucía has already collaborated with several world-renown artists and musicians, including Natalia Lafourcade, Aloe Blacc, La Santa Cecilia, Quetzal, Son de Madera, Alex Mercado, and the National Jazz Orchestra of Mexico (ONJMX in Spanish). She has performed on stages around world: Carnegie Hall, Rose Hall at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Royce Hall at UCLA, the ASU Gammage in Arizona, El Cantoral, the National Center for the Arts, and the Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris in Mexico City. She has also performed in renowned festivals like the Folk Festival in Vancouver and the International Cervantino Festival in Guanajuato, Mexico.

Most recently, Lucía has just completed recording her first full album, which will be released in early 2025. Produced by Grammy-winner Matt Pierson, it presents Lucía's interpretations of jazz standards (“What a Difference a Day Makes,” “You Must Believe in Spring,” etc.) classic Spanish songs (including “Silencio,” “La Llorona,” “Como Fue”) and current pop songs (by Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo), featuring an extraordinary group of musicians including Edward Simon, David Sanchez, Larry Grenadier, and Antonio Sánchez.
