Elena Rose, reconocida cantautora venezolana y diez veces nominada al GRAMMY y Latin GRAMMY, es una de las voces más influyentes en la música latina actual. Con un talento excepcional para la composición, ha creado éxitos para gigantes de la industria como Daddy Yankee, Rauw Alejandro, Becky G, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez y Christina Aguilera, entre muchos otros. Desde su debut como solista en 2020, ha conquistado a más de 9.5 millones de oyentes mensuales en Spotify y ha colaborado con artistas como Sebastián Yatra, Mora, Danny Ocean y Young Miko. Su voz única, letras conmovedoras y carisma en el escenario la han llevado a compartir tarima con leyendas como Alejandro Sanz y Karol G. En 2024, Elena Rose ha dejado su huella en prestigiosos festivales como Bésame Mucho, Pa'l Norte en Monterrey, Tecate Emblema en CDMX, Sueños en Chicago y el Baja Beach Fest en Tijuana. Su tema "Caracas en el 2000", junto a Danny Ocean y Jerry Di, no solo se posicionó en las listas de viralidad en 19 países y alcanzó el #1 en la radio de Venezuela, sino que también se ha convertido en un himno para los venezolanos. Su sencillo, "Me Lo Merezco," es una declaración audaz de empoderamiento personal que sigue expandiendo su impacto. Como si fuera poco, “Orion”, su colaboración con Boza entró al Top 200 Global de Spotify y el videoclip en el Top 100 Global YouTube.

A lo largo de su trayectoria, ha sido nominada en múltiples ocasiones por Premios Juventud, Premio Lo Nuestro, Premios Tu Música Urbano y HEAT Latin Music Awards, donde en 2025 fue reconocida como “Mejor Artista Pop” y “Compositora del Año”. En 2023, se convirtió en la única mujer nominada a “Compositora del Año” en los Latin GRAMMY, y fue invitada a cantar en la gala de Persona del Año y en la ceremonia principal. Ese mismo año participó en festivales como Lollapalooza Argentina y SXSW, afianzando su presencia en escenarios internacionales.

En 2024, fue destacada por Billboard como Chartbreaker del mes, luego del lanzamiento de su EP En Las Nubes Con Mis Panas, y recibió tres nominaciones al Latin GRAMMY: “Canción del Año”, “Mejor Canción Pop/Rock” y “Mejor Canción Regional Mexicana”. Su participación especial junto a Ed Sheeran en un evento íntimo en Ciudad de México, donde interpretaron juntos “Thinking Out Loud”, amplificó su proyección fuera del mercado latino.

Este verano llevó su música a Europa a través del ALMA TOUR, donde logró un éxito rotundo, fortaleciendo su alcance global gracias a su poderosa voz y autenticidad artística. Ahora, con la misma pasión y entusiasmo, anuncia la esperada gira por Estados Unidos, con paradas en Miami, Atlanta, Los Ángeles, Dallas, Houston, Washington D.C. y Chicago, confirmando su imparable crecimiento como una de las figuras más destacadas de la música latina contemporánea.

Please note that the dress code for this event is festive attire.

“I remember opening that email that said that I was the winner of the scholarship. I had to reopen it several times to make sure it was all true. When I left Venezuela, I promised my mother that I would complete my studies and be successful in my career. The help of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation has been one of the most beautiful blessings in my life. Thanks to their Scholarship Program, I have been able to generate an impact in music and expand my creative and professional possibilities. Among other things, this has allowed me to reunite with my family after many years.”
