Chiquis Essentials

Since the untimely passing of Jenni Rivera in 2012, there's been a glaring hole in banda sinaloense that only her daughter Chiquis has been able to fill. Born in Los Angeles in 1985, the eldest of Rivera's children got her first taste of fame appearing in multiple reality shows for NBC Universo before launching her music career in 2014. Chiquis has worked tirelessly to carve her own lane in música mexicana, winning Latin Grammys for her albums Playlist (2020) and Abeja Reina (2022). Her hits include an effervescent cover of Dolly Parton's “Jolene” with Becky G. and the brassy heartbreak anthem “El Honor”.
