Paloma Mami is breaking up the boys club…

The 25-year-old Chilean-American singer-songwriter has signed with Double P Management’s George Prajin, becoming the first female artist on the company’s roster.

Paloma MamiPaloma Mami, who was nominated for best new artist at the 2021 Latin Grammys, joins a roster that includes Peso Pluma, Tito Double P, Gabito Ballesteros and Santa Fe Klan.

Along with being the first female artist to join Double P Management, she’s also the first non-Mexican act on the roster, marking a new step for the company as it expands its roster beyond música mexicana.

“Paloma is a generational artist whose sound transcends borders,” George Prajin said in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with her and continue pushing the boundaries of Latin music.”

Known for her copper-toned vocals and her attitude-heavy delivery, Mami became an artist to watch when she broke through in 2018 with “Not Steady,” a lushly produced, urban-tinged R&B track that showcased her bilingual skills.

Soon after, Mami signed with Sony Music Latin and began releasing a handful of songs and collaborations — including “No Te Debí Besar” with C. Tangana and “QueLoQue” with Major Lazer, which peaked at No. 17 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

In 2021, Mami officially dropped her debut album, Sueños de Dali. That same year, she received a Latin Grammy nomination for best new artist.

Her only album to date, Sueños de Dali includes co-writing credits from superstars Rosalía, El Guincho, Tainy and Edgar Barrera and is sonically wide-ranging, encompassing melodic reggaetón, R&B and electro-funk.

Most recently, Mami released “HAKiA,” which is powered by a hypnotizing reggaetón drum beat.

She is set to release a new album July 11 via Sony Music Latin.
