Lupita Infante

About this Artist

The critically adored Mexican-American singer-songwriter Lupita Infante is part of a new generation of musica mexicana artists, so deeply rooted in tradition that they possess the confidence and expertise to brilliantly reinvent it in the modern day.

Her name is instantly familiar to tens of millions of Mexicans, as she is the granddaughter of Pedro Infante Cruz (1917-1957), the most beloved Mexican singer and actor of the 20th century. Lupita Infante has achieved a multitude of awards and recognitions, such as 2 GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® nominations, receiving the Mayor's Excellence Award from her home-city of Downey, CA, and being honored with the Latino Spirit Award from the California Latino Legislative Caucus.

In May of 2025, Lupita released her third official studio album, “La Corona es Mia.” Across 10 powerful tracks, Lupita cements her place as a leading force in Música Mexicana, claiming the crown that's rightfully hers. Additionally, in 2025, Lupita will be touring across the US and Mexico, opening for Música Mexicana legends such as Pepe Aguilar, Los Angeles Azules, and Mariachi Vargas, among others. Lupita’s presence on this tour is a powerful testament to her growing impact in the genre. Sharing the stage with icons like Pepe Aguilar, who is also part of a family dynasty, showcases a true generational blend of Musica Mexicana legacies. These shows bring recognition for an artist who is gracefully bridging the past and future of the genre.

Lupita studied Ethnomusicology at UCLA and joined the school's renowned Mariachi de Uclatlán, which is the oldest university mariachi in the United States with an over 50-year trajectory. Studying ethnomusicology gave Lupita the chance to rediscover Pedro Infante’s legacy through the works of academics: “I would write about Mexican music and research women in mariachi music, and study machismo in Mexican music and how that translated through my grandfather. I think that was a lot more interesting than if I had majored in vocal performance.” To pay her tuition, she worked as a Lyft driver. She graduated from UCLA in 2017. “I was driving for Lyft to be able to pay my bills. I knew I wasn’t the kind of person who was going to be stuck in an office, even though it meant sacrificing that security.”

Despite Lupita coming from an iconic lineage, she has overcome boundaries to achieve commercial and critical success within her career. As a 2x GRAMMY® nominee, Lupita Infante is solidifying her place as a leading female face in Musica Mexicana, while simultaneously becoming one of the most critically adored Musica Mexicana artists of the new generation.
