TINI, Argentina

Martina Stoessel, or simply Tini, made her mark on the childhood of many, starring the Disney Channel soap opera Violetta in 2012 – for which she is still remembered by the songs she sang.

One of her most successful jobs was in the Netflix Original Production “Elite”, where played the unforgettable Lu during three seasons.

It’s possible to hear it in tracks like Mala Fama, Sola and Calla TĂş. Danna transmits truth in everything she sings, there is no artist like her to encourage everyone.

Lasso, Venezuela
