Janney Marín, better known as Chiquis, is a dynamic force in the entertainment industry, showcasing her talents as a two-time Latin GRAMMY award-winning artist, businesswoman, author, and media personality. Her journey to success is marked by remarkable achievements and a relentless drive to inspire and empower others.
In 2013, Chiquis embarked on her solo music career, fulfilling a promise to her late mother, the legendary Jenni Rivera. In less than two years, her debut album, Ahora, soared to the top of the charts, reaching #1 in sales on iTunes and Billboard's Regional Mexican Albums chart. The album's immense success was further solidified by its gold certification from the RIAA and multiple top 10 singles dominating national radio airwaves.
Her musical prowess continued to shine with subsequent releases, including her second album, Entre Botellas, which reached #1 on the Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart and featured hit singles "Vas a Volver" and "Horas Extras." However, it was her third album, Playlist, that earned her the prestigious honor of becoming the first female solo artist to win the Latin GRAMMY for Best Banda Album in 2020.
Building on her momentum, in 2022 Chiquis received her second Latin GRAMMY for Best Banda Album with her fourth album, Abeja Reina, reaffirming her status as a trailblazer in the industry. Abeja Reina was also nominated for a GRAMMY in 2023. That same year, she released two more musical productions, a live concert album Chiquis En Vivo Desde Lunario Ciudad De México and an EP Bee Side, a continuation of her acclaimed Abeja Reina.
