Kany García

Kany García is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter from Toa Baja who writes her own material and became one of the leading female voices of Latin pop.

Origins

Trained in classical music as a child, she studied at the Escuela Libre de Música and the Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico. After a television audition in 2004 and a serious car accident, she signed with Sony BMG and released her debut album Cualquier Día in 2007.

The sound

Her music is guitar-based singer-songwriter pop, built on direct, confessional lyrics about love, breakups and self-worth, later widening to duets with regional Mexican and tropical artists.

Legacy

She won Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Album at the 2008 Latin Grammys and has won several more since. At the 2026 Latin Grammys she is nominated for Best Traditional Pop Album (Puerta Abierta) and Best Pop Song ("A La Niña Que Fui").
