A year ago, 15-year-old Yahritza Martinez was just a high school soccer player in Yakima, Washington. Balancing sports and family responsibilities, her mornings involved helping her father pick fruit in the Yakima Valley. Fast forward to today, and Yahritza has transformed into a rising star in the music industry, captivating audiences with her talent as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist in the sibling trio Yahritza y Su Esencia.
Recently, the group celebrated the release of their debut EP, “Obsessed,” which soared to the top of the Latin charts on Apple Music. The journey to success began with a viral TikTok moment featuring their emotional breakup ballad “Soy El Unico,” written by a then-13-year-old Yahritza. The song not only topped Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart but also made Yahritza the youngest Latin performer to break into the Billboard Hot 100.
As Yahritza and her brothers navigate their newfound fame, they reflect on their roots in Yakima and the support they received from family. Their rise to stardom is a testament to hard work, talent, and the power of social media in today’s music landscape.
