Biography
Kevin Kaarl is a Mexican folk singer, composer, and musician who rose to prominence through social-media virality. Born May 15, 2001, he released his debut single "Amor viejo" on September 18, 2018, which garnered over 7 million YouTube views. That December, "Vámonos a marte" became his breakthrough—accumulating 23 million YouTube views and 104 million Spotify streams—propelling him to international recognition.
Kaarl's musical foundation runs deep. In childhood and adolescence, he joined youth bands and school choirs, including a youth band in Meoqui, Chihuahua at age 7. Before his 2018 comeback, he had paused music in 2014 to pursue photography and film, while studying communication. His influences span Norteño, classical, and rock, though his discography centers on folk, indie, and alternative. His twin brother Bryan, a trumpet player, sang backup vocals during early live performances.
Kaarl has released two studio albums—*Hasta el fin del mundo* (2019) and *París, Texas* (2022)—plus the EP *San Lucas* (2019). Hit tracks include "San Lucas," "Colapso," "Es que yo te quiero a ti," and "Si supieras," many charting in top 10s across Latin America; "Vámonos a marte" reached number one on Chile's Top 40, while "San Lucas" hit number one on Mexico's YouTube Top 100. He performs in Spanish and English, collaborating with Leon Bridges, León Marinero, Daniel Quién, and Pablo Díaz-Reixa. His reach spans the United States, Europe (Spain, Germany), and South America (Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador), with festival appearances at Vive Latino, Pal Norte, and Primavera Sound. In 2020, he released "Es que yo te Quiero a ti" to support feminicide victims. Born a Taurus, Kaarl embodies the sign's grounded persistence and loyalty to craft.
