Vanesa Martín is one of the most influential singer-songwriters on the Spanish musical scene. At the age of six she received her first guitar, starting an early relationship with composition. In 2003 she moved to Madrid and started performing in legendary venues such as El Búho Real. Her debut album, Agua (2006), positioned her on the national scene, followed by Trampas (2009), which entered the best-selling album charts for the first time.

In 2012 she published Cuestión de piel, a key work with collaborations from Malú, Pablo Alborán and La Mari. Her first platinum cecord came with Crónica de un baile (2014). Munay (2016) exceeded 70 concerts between Spain and America, consolidating her international projection. In 2018 she released Todas las mujeres que habitan en mí, culminating with a sold out show at the Fillmore in Miami.

In 2020 she presents Siete veces sí, successfully reissued, and in 2022 she published Placeres y pecados, nominated for two Latin Grammys. Her ninth album, Casa Mía (2025), stands out for its sensitivity and includes a collaboration with Joaquín Sabina. Recognized with awards such as the Medalla de Andalucía, Premio Ondas and Premio Odeón, Vanesa Martín is today one of the most loved and respected voices internationally.
