She started singing at the age of six during a family trip to Guadalajara.
What began as a bet between her and her father turned into a passion for music.

"My dad just bet me 100 dollars to sing with a Mariachi at Guadalajara, and that's when I realized I could sing," Alessandra shares.

Her talent came as a surprise to her parents and siblings, as singing was not a common trait in her family.

However, Alessandra's love for music was undeniable.

Alessandra continued to pursue her passion by performing at restaurants and gaining popularity on TikTok.

Her talent eventually earned her an invitation to the 2024 National Mariachi Youth Vocalist Competition in Houston, Texas.

On July 1st, Alessandra received the exciting news that she had won the competition, making her a rising star in the Mariachi world.

While most kids go home to do their homework, Alessandra continues to perform with the group Mariachi Mi Ciudad, entertaining crowds at El Puesto.
