Future Hispanic History Month: Sofia Reyes' Global Focus
This year, we're celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month with Future Hispanic History Month highlighting a variety of rising stars who are creating history before our very eyes. One look at the Latin music charts and one could call it very a much a "boys club"—men almost always top the charts while this year's Latin Grammy nominations saw women barely represented in the major categories—but the young Sofia Reyes is looking to shake things up.
With her single "Solo Yo" (or in English, "Nobody But Me"), the 20-year-old became the first woman in five years to hit No. 1 on Billboard's Latin Pop Songs chart. While some women had done it as a featured artist (Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, as examples), Reyes did it with her own hit that instead her mentor, Prince Royce. The single, which was released in both Spanish and English, is the latest and most successful step in her globally minded foray into the music industry.
