Iván Cornejo[1] (born June 5, 2004), is an 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". His earliest music inspirations include T3R Elemento and Grupo Los de la O.
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. 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. His songwriting credits enabled him to peak atop the Billboard Latin Songwriters chart in the week ending October 30, 2021. Alma Vacía was named as one of the best albums of 2021 by The New York Times. 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.
His second studio album Dañado, debuted and peaked at number one on the Regional Mexican Albums chart in the week ending June 18, 2022. It spent a total of 37 weeks at number one, fourth highest since the chart's creation.[2] The album sold 8,000 album-equivalent units, with 11.9 million on-demand streams of the album's songs, while it peaked at number four on the Top Latin Albums chart. The album also peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200 chart. Cornejo has been nominated for New Regional Mexican Artist at the 2022 Premios Juventud.[3] Cornejo's guitar solos in his songs include alternative rock influences, a genre his brother and mother often listened to during Cornejo's upbringing.
On July 27, 2023, Cornejo released the single "Aquí Te Espero", which peaked at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] He released "Donde Estás" three months later.
On March 14, 2024, Cornejo released "Baby Please", which earned him his first top 10 on the US Hot Latin Songs chart, peaking at number eight, since 2021 when "Está Dañada" peaked at number two.[5]
Iván Cornejo announced his third studio album Mirada on June 18, 2024. It was released on July 19, 2024, by Interscope and Zaragoza Records, his first for those labels.
