About Leiva Mexico

Born in Madrid in 1980, Rubén Pozo Prados, better known by his stage name Leiva, has ascended to become one of Spain’s most cherished and influential singer-songwriters. His musical journey began in the late 1990s as the frontman of the wildly popular rock band Pereza, a group that garnered immense success and a dedicated fanbase with their energetic performances and relatable lyrics. After Pereza disbanded, Leiva embarked on a solo career that has proven to be even more creatively liberating and commercially successful. His solo work showcases a sophisticated evolution of his sound, blending classic rock sensibilities with contemporary influences, often infused with a poignant, introspective lyricism.

Leiva’s solo discography is a testament to his artistic growth and unwavering commitment to his craft. His debut album, “Diciembre,” released in 2012, immediately signalled his arrival as a formidable solo artist, featuring hits like “Sincericidio.” Subsequent albums have only solidified his position, with “Pólvora” (2014) delivering anthems such as “Cuando Duermes” and “Mirada de Deseo,” further cementing his reputation for crafting songs that are both commercially appealing and artistically substantial. The critically acclaimed “Monstruos” (2016) saw him continue to explore new sonic territories, while “Nuclear” (2019) and his most recent offering, “Cuando te quiero,” have been met with widespread critical acclaim and commercial success, boasting tracks that have become staples on Spanish radio and fan playlists. His notable hits, including the universally recognised “Todo en ti,” “Vértigo,” and “El Viento” from his early solo career, alongside more recent chart-toppers, have cemented his status as a songwriter capable of capturing the complexities of human emotion with an authentic and powerful voice. Leiva’s ability to connect with his audience on a deeply personal level, coupled with his electrifying stage presence, has earned him legions of fans not only in his native Spain but also increasingly across Latin America, making this concert in Ciudad de México a highly anticipated event.
