ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born LUIS MIGUEL CORONEL GAMEZ in Tucson, Arizona, Luis has become one of the most successful entertainers in Latin music. To many, he is the dreamy guy with a smooth voice and sweet smile, but it is his openness that resonates with his fans. As Luis’s career blossoms, it is his values, integrity and work ethic that fuels his passion.
Luis has conquered the Billboard charts, become a fixture on top-rated television shows, tours consistently to sold-out venues and has recorded signature songs of love that have catapulted the singer/songwriter into the hearts of America and Latin America. A social media phenomenon with followers in the millions, a highly spirited fan base and a rapidly rising career of fever-pitch proportions, the charming teen star embodies and inspires the best of the youthful, smart and savvy millennial generation.
Radio stations, concert venues, television programs and social media platforms from Facebook to Instagram have placed Luis’s career on an upward trajectory. Since breaking out two years ago, the star has become a strong, bold and vibrant singer with a global following.
The Huffington Post called Luis a “…phenomenon as organic as the Beatles…,” while Billboard in 2014 crowned the artist as one of the 21-Under-21 entertainers having substantial impact in music along with his peers Justin Bieber, Lorde, Becky G and Austin Mahone, among others.
Luis has become one of the most revered recording artists of this generation. His sound is rooted in Regional Mexican music and his fashion style echoes the classic vibe of the Rat Pack days of the ‘60s. Being an all-American guy unabashedly openhearted, dapper in suits, ties and unafraid of being accessible and vulnerable to his fans through music, warm embraces and charity work, Luis navigates two cultures, dominates a bilingual and bicultural way of life and is continually connecting to a diverse and fast growing demographic with his young spirit, witty persona and a treasure trove of romantic songs that often leave concertgoers swooning for more.
